  Mine looked a lot creamier than the dish pictured so perhaps i used a bit too much creme fraiche but it was very tasty nonetheless & so quick! Will definitely make it again.

  We really liked this, but it is a bit simple. It is really quick and easy to make and my hubby loved it the next day for left overs, but not really the type of thing you need a recipe for

  An excellent example of how a simple recipe results in a wonderful meal! Instead of chestnut mushrooms I used portobello mushrooms because of their incredible flavour, a variation I can heartily recommend!

  Mxed revues from the family with this one. Main one is needs a lot less pasta and more bacon. I used low fat pesto which may have been a mistake. I liked it but the blokes in the family not sure.

  This was a lovely recipe, really quick to make and very tasty! I used garlic & herb cream cheese instead of the creme fraiche and it tasted great! Had some left over so took it work and had it cold for lunch. Made a nice change to the usual sandwich. Will definitely make this again :-)

  Lovely recipie. Made it low fat by using weight watchers creme fraiche (From Tesco) and Tesco healthy living smoked bacon rashers. So this cut out a lot of the fat content. To bulk it up i added chicken as well. For extra flavour i crushed up gralic cloves and put it into the creme fraich. My partner loved this! Make sure you use the basil as well.

  Great pasta midweeker again from GF! Used the village butchers dry cured smoked bacon, best I've ever tasted, and the two times I've made this I used red pesto, Roast Pepper the first time and Aubergine the second. Very good on both occasions very quick and super tasty.

  Awesome dish. cooked it for the whole family and even the fussy eaters ate it all. has become a weekly regular as the leftovers (if there are any) are great for lunch the following day. quick, easy and cooked in one dish; saved on washing up.

  Very tasty meal. I added a clove of garlic and an onion which worked. Craime fraiche gave it quite a sharp flavour - nice, but i may try single cream next time.

  Excellent - something the whole family likes (a miracle!) Easy and quick to cook - I've been told to serve it with ciabatta, so next time will probably increase quantities of pesto and creme fraiche.

  Easy peasy and tasty. Didn't bother with the creme fraiche as I didn't have any - maybe next time.
