Pasta, Broccoli and Chicken image

A mixture of pasta, broccoli, pesto, tomatoes and cheese that is practically a meal in itself, especially with the cooked chicken. Great served with crusty bread or a tossed salad. Try using bow tie pasta for an added variation!

This pasta dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, but the broccoli was cooked well. The sauce was creamy and cheesy, but it was a bit too heavy for my taste. I probably wouldn't make this again.

I wasn't impressed with this pasta dish. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the broccoli was mushy. The sauce was also bland and lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.
