  Made this for dinner and it was really good but the potatoes didn't really fit with the dish. I did it again and added left over roast chicken instead of the new potatoes and it was delicious!

  It sounds like this would work with pasta or potatoes but not necessarily both. I would probably switch the potatoes out for butter beans or something.

  Really tasty as the others said I thought the potatoes wouldn't work but they did. I used a jar of pesto was very tasty, will make again.

  This looks very interesting - and I will try it with the ready made pasto ( as there's a jar in the cupboard ! ) But do we really mean a jar of pasto......a whole jar ??? I note that SEW23 quoted a jar of pesto - but are we really being specific here ?

  I didn't fancy potatoes and past together. Did the pasta and added Canellini beans instead. Quite nice but very, very filling.

  Loved it. The potato & pasta make an unusual but great combination. Well worth a try, I'll definitely be making it again
