Before I review a recipe I always follow the directions exactly as the author request. My family and I says this was the best tasting pesto sauce ever. It was very rich and nutty. It was very easy to make. I used it with penne pasta shrimp and chicken. YUMMY DELICIOUS!!!! Next time I think i wll use sausage and bowtie pasta...If its wonderful I will let you know!

My husband and children love hambuger helper which I cant stand.... So I decided to go with this recipe after reading a few reviews on it. This recipe was very easy and quick to prepare. The flavor idea seem to be on point but, we are comparing it to hamburger helper. My family and I both felt it was way to oniony (12 servings ask for 3 onions finely chopped.) We also thought the sauce was not thick enough. I felt the final sause was not rich enough. My children felt it taste to much like wine. My husband and I liked the Burgandy wine flavor. Next time I think I will use 1 1/2 onion for 12 servings and use half cream cheese and half sour cream to make it creameir thicker and richer. I even think I will marinade the beef in white wine and seasoning before cooking, leave out the burgundy too. If its wonderful I will be sure to let you know!!!
