Very good

Great tasty recipe. Pine nuts really add to the flavor. A similar dish with feta instead of the sun dried pesto is also something good to try.

Just want to comment on people's negative reviews on this site. Give all of us a break. If you haven't tried it or don't plan to, you don't know how it is and shouldn't be writing a review. Of course if you have tried it and don't like it please let us all know.

And in response to the last post...regardless of the calories it is a healthy meal. How can you rate this poorly when you haven't tried it and you don't know the difference between healthy and non healthy foods. The calorie count alone does not make a meal unhealthy. There is nothing in this that is bad for you. Remeber that nuts are very high in calories and fat; however very good for you.

Although, I used whole wheat pasta just to make it a tad healthier.

i think this recipe is awesome i've made it a couple times once for my family and more for my church and they all loved it then sometimes i made it for my friends at school...
however since pine nuts can sometime be really expensive i try raisins....regular sun-dried raisins...not the golden ones - but i found the raisins really add a taste of sweetness and no one really could tell the difference plus in the end, we had a lot of pine nuts left over in the dish and nothin to eat 'em with...and with the raisins, all was left was the dish itself lol....the raisins are a nice alternative i think

just use the same amount as u would nuts but instead of toasting, just throw 'em in as is

def. delicious!

So tasty! If you want to reduce the calories, substituting walnuts for pine nuts will make a big difference. I also replaced spinach with kale and it was still fabulous.

this is an easy recipe and my whole family loved it. They said the pasta is like cheesecake factory pasta. We make it everytime we feel like having pasta.
