My boyfriend hated this so much, that he refused to speak to me the rest of the evening.I left out the broccoli and peas (because he hates them, and added zucchini. When I ate the leftovers the next day, I strained out the vegetables, added a thickening agent to the sauce, and then returned the vegetables to the pan with the sauce.I think this was much better, because the sauce was thick enough to adhere to the noodles.He still wouldn't eat it, but I enjoyed the leftovers very much. I agree though, that primavera sauce is really just vegetables, and thickening it probably makes it something else. Either way, it was certainly not that awful.Time for a new boyfriend.

I think this is a very good dish. To savory it up more, I only added a touch of dried oregano and basil leaves. My husband and I both enjoyed it and will make it again.

This recipe turned out great for us! It did take a while because I needed to cook and dice the chicken, which I seasoned with salt and pepper. I used a little extra garlic and salted the pasta water more than usual, and I also substituted a green bell pepper for the roasted red pepper. This dish was full of flavor and color!
