Yummmy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish was easy to make and super yummy! I didn't have much time to make it, so i brought the herbs and oil to a boil and... then let them sit for about 30 minutes while I prepared the rest. I added a chopped tomato, onion, and one shredded carrot. Instead of the chili,I used a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Everyone loved it, the chicken and artichoke makes this dish like a whole meal in one! Thanks so much, will definitely be using again and again!Read more

Question
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't see this episode and was wondering if anyone knows if the extra oil needs to be refrigerated or if it can be left at... room temp.Read more

I made a version of this and it was great
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I usually use most recipes as a guide rather versus following them to the letter. In this case I had to substitute b/c I... wanted to make it for dinner tonight and couldn't wait overnight to make the herb oil component. So I used rotini pasta, subsituted the red wine vinegar and herb oil with a couple of tsps of fresh orange juice and french viniagrette. I also added several chopped chipotles to imitate the arbol chile in the herb oil and added orange zest to the pasta along with some of the fresh herbs that were in the herb oil bu t not originally with the pasta itself. Seems like a ton of changes but I really only altered so I could make it immediately. My version turned out fabulous and light. A good suggestion would be to use leftover rotisserie chicken for this which is what I used.Read more

GREAT REVIEWS!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cook for 14 people on Sunday nights and beings it's summer and HOT, no one really wants to eat. I have never made a pasta... salad other than maccoroni salad. I added a little minced onion and garlic and left out the orange zest. I added a little more salt & pepper. It was FANTASTIC! I got calls all morning from the people I cook for. If I could give you 10 stars I would! THANKSRead more
