Grilled Chicken Rigatoni With Pesto Alfredo Sauce image

This is one of my favorites. Great with a crusty loaf of french bread! Would also be tasty with shrimp or scallops instead of the chicken. You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking. The cooking time is for the rigatoni. I give directions for grilling the chicken with an indoor grill, but you can grill or cook the chicken any way you prefer.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. It was easy to make and it tasted great. I would definitely make it again, but I might make some changes to the recipe to suit my own taste.

I had some trouble getting the chicken to cook evenly. I ended up having to cook it for a few extra minutes, but it was still a little dry. I think I would try grilling the chicken separately next time.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste. The Alfredo sauce was very heavy and the pesto was a bit overpowering. I think I would prefer it with a lighter sauce.

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to make the pesto and Alfredo sauce from scratch, and it took a while. I think I would prefer a recipe that uses store-bought sauces.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, and it definitely improved the flavor.
