Teena's Spicy Pesto Chicken and Pasta
LAGIRL
"A spicy chicken and pesto pasta dish that's easy to adjust to any heat level. I created it after eating a similar dish at a Santa Monica restaurant, and it's one of my favorites. Serve with additional grated Parmesan, if desired. As an option, it's delicious with creamy goat cheese stirred in at the end."

My husband and I thought it was OK. Too much pesto, and the pasta would be oily; tried to cut down on the oil, and the pasta was too dry.

I make this all the time! It's easy and tastes excellent. Couldn't find chili paste but chili powder works just as well!

I changed and added a few things to this recipe and made it a 5 star but I think just the way it is would've been a little plain for me so I gave it a 4 stars. I used 3/4 of a pound of fresh shr...

This was excellent. I added zucchini and sauteed mushrooms and quite a bit more pesto. My guests commented that it tasted like a dish from "an Italian restaurant," one of the highest complimen...

great recipe! I used chili powder, and added mushrooms, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes as others suggested. I also added half and half. I will make this again and will try with pine nuts.
