Penne With Chicken, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts image

This pasta dish looks and tastes great. It looks stunning served in bowls or large, restaurant-like plates. I love sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil! The pine nuts add a nice touch. Roast the pine nuts in a skillet on low heat. Watch the nuts as they turn brown (and then black) suddenly. Serve this tasty dish with fresh parmesan cheese and a glass of wine.

I'm allergic to pine nuts, so I substituted walnuts instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few changes. For example, I would use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too runny.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked through and juicy, the sun-dried tomatoes were flavorful, and the pine nuts added a nice crunch.

I'm not a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes, but I really enjoyed them in this recipe. They added a nice tangy flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner and I never know what to do with it. This recipe is the perfect solution!
