SO delicious! I too decreased the olive oil to about 1/2 cup (just as much needed to coat the pasta when mixing in the sauce). I didn't have ricotta cheese, but used cottage cheese instead and couldn't tell a difference. Will be adding to our favorite dishes...Thanks!

wow, Wow, and WOW! I have made this a few times and love it more every time I make it. I do add extra pesto and garlic. I have passed it on to other teachers at my school & one made it with shrimp instead of chicken. She loved it too (and also passed it on). YUM

Wonderful flavor! I too cut back on the oil, and added chicken broth and a little white wine. Also a pinch of red pepper flake. This makes a huge batch. Will add this to our rotation of chicken pastas!

What a good dish!Took less than 10 minutes to prepare, then about 20 m to cook, and tastes fab. I have followed other reviewers and used 1/4 cup of olive oil, then 3/4 cup of white wine, and I used sausages instead of chicken (personal preference), and also added cherry tomatoes and some red pepper.The dish has a lot of flavours and everything compliments each other. My 2 year old had 2 helpings! Thanks for such a good recipe

Absolutely delicious! I marinated the chicken with light italian dressing for 1 hour before cooking. I made my own Pesto Sauce recipe from this site. Also, as suggested by one of the reviewers I used fresh grated parmesan cheese instead of ricotta.

This recipe was fantastic! This may be my new favorite pasta. The cheeses blended together beautifully, and getting the proper tomatoes really is what makes this recipe, along with the oil (I just eyeballed it along the way and it turned out fine). I added some mushrooms to make the toppings more sporatic. I had to skip the basil pesto and just used the regular spice, and it still tasted restaurant-quality. Yum!

This is definitely interesting. It felt like a fancy restaurant-style pasta but something was missing and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it needs another kind of cheese besides the feta (although I really liked the feta in there). I will try again and tweek it.

Awesome! I don't like to waste great flavors, oils and make extra dirty dishes if I can avoid it. So, I made made a few minor adjustments that worked great for me. I used about 11 chicken tenderloins and a box of bow tie noodles, since that's what I had on hand. I agreed with other reviewers that this was an oily dish. Since the jar of whole sun dried tomatoes I used had about 3/4 cups to 1 cup oil in it, I only needed the oil from that. My Pesto was oily and you can always add olive oil as needed. Cooking chicken in the sun dried tomato oil gave it a fantastic flavor. I'm a cheese head, so I of course increased the amounts of cheese a little. I found it easier for me when assembling it to leave the pasta in a strainer while I made the cheese mixture in the same pot I used to the cook noodles in. Added the noodles back into that pot, stirred very well, and started heating the pot. I reheated the cooked sliced chicken in garlic using the same skillet I used to cook the chicken for about 3 minutes. This added a roasted garlic flavor to it and absorbed the left over oils and juices I used to cook the chicken in from the skillet. Then scraped the chicken and garlic into the cheesy noodle mixture and stirred. Awesome!

Delicious!!! My whole family loved this, even my 3 year old son! It tastes a lot like Penne Mediterranean from Bravo! I added some sauteed spinach and pine nuts to make it taste much like that dish. I also made a few changes... I used whole wheat penne pasta instead of fettuccini, and I added a few drops of olive oil to the boiling water to keep the noodles from sticking together. I did not add the one cup of olive oil as others suggested, but added the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes instead. I used light ricotta cheese. I will definitely be making this again and again!

Tasted great, however I cut the oil back to the bare minimum and after it sat for a little bit the noodles dried out the sauce a little. Still was awsome but would oil the noodles before I added the sauce next time.

This was a great pasta dish that we plan on making again! Loved the flavors; they combined really well. After reading that it was a bit oily for some, I held off on adding all of the olive oil but then added the oil from the sun dried tomates until I reached my desired consistency. I can't wait to make it for guests!

Recipe was quick and easy which is a plus on a busy night. I only used a couple tablespoons of oil and chopped up some leftover grilled chicken. I also threw in a half a can of artichokes and omitted the tomatoes as I was out. I added a couple ladlefulls of the pasta water at the end to the mixture and while the pasta drained, threw the mix into my heavy (and still hot) pasta pot helping to reheat the whole mixture and making this a one pot meal. The family loved it, I felt good about the fat content, would even grate some zucchini in next time.
