This was very easy to make; however, we were all severely disappointed with the flavor. The family loves collard greens and we were excited to try a new way of preparing them. The flavor was bitter and to be honest, we found it inedible. All of our ingredients were fresh but the flavor was off and didn't taste right. We were very disappointed

I watched this program and couldn't wait to try it out. I LOVED IT! I just went to the grocery store to get the ingredients to do it again. The olives add such a great flavor. I am not a huge pecan fan but it works fantastic all together. I also wouldn't think to try the whole wheat linguine before this recipe but I would buy it again. I didn't add all of the olive oil that it called for since I didn't think it needed it. YUM!

This is the most delicious way I have ate collards greens! It's a wonderful variation to pesto and the pecans add amazing nutty undertones that pinenuts sometimes do not. It's super healthy and I would recommend for anyone to try this recipie. Go ahead and try it! You'll love it :

Excellent! Creative use of collard greens. I made a half recipe of the sauce and have about 1/3 of it left. I was out of parmesan, so made the sauce without it and added crumbled goat cheese to the hot pasta with the sauce. Never thought collard greens could taste so good. I'll definitely make this again. Think I might use the leftover pesto on crostini with crumbled goat cheese. Yum!

I have made this recipe several times. I've prepared it exactly as written, as well as with variations. You can throw some basil leaves in there, add a little extra garlic....I actually served it over basil linguine and it was really delicious. Tastes great with the chicken meatballs from the same episode. It also tastes really good with grilled, seasoned shrimp tossed in. Altogether, this is a really good recipe that I love. It's healthy, quick, and tasty!!!

I LOVE Sunny and I love this recipe, but can someone PLEASE tell her that the reason why her collards are growing like weeds is because THEY ARE WEEDS!! Collards are weeds that is why they grow in abundance...look it up. But I still ove you Sunny! LOL!!

It was super easy & so delicious! It makes a lot. I made the meatballs with it as well, I had to use turkey instead of chicken and they were still great! Love it! Can't wait to make it again.

I saw the episode where she made this and earmarked it for once my collard greens were growing nicely. I finally made it tonight and loved it.

Because of the other reviews, I added a few basil leaves. To better suit my tastes, I doubled the garlic and used pimiento-stuffed olives (since I dislike kalamata olives. I loved the taste of this pesto- it's very mellow and the flavor of the greens comes through just enough to be refreshing. I'll make this in the winter when my basil isn't growing. I'll be making this again soon.

Overall, I'm rating this recipe good because I made the changes listed above. It's great with my changes.

It was good but I agree with Melony and Tracey. It does make quite a bit more than what I needed and I think I'll stick with a basil based pesto.
