Joyous, I don’t know if it freezes well or not. We never have enough left to try.

Misty, does this freeze well? I’m looking for freezable recipes to do in preparation for après-bébé (which sounds so much better than post-partum, doesn’t it?).

I stole this recipe from Misty after I ate it at her house almost 12 years ago. We sometimes add sundried tomatoes or spinach too. If I have time, I saute the chicken in olive oil & butter, then deglaze the pan with white wine & add that to the pesto sauce.

My 7-year-old daughter loves this! When they asked what her favorite meal was in 1st grade, she said “spaghetti with chicken and spinach.” I think the teacher almost fell out of her chair.

Mmm…this looks awesomely tasty. I think I’ll add this to my to-do list too.

Yum! If you don’t feel like making pesto from a mix, here’s a really easy Weightwatchers recipe:
