#so it is just chicken and gnocchi and cream and LOVE
Note
First, you’re beautiful! And I love your blog! What’s your weight gain secret? Or what one thing/food helps the most?
thank youu 🩷🩷 I think the fact I LOVE to cook helps - lots of butter, lots of cheese, cream etc. for dinner tonight I made bacon, asparagus and gnocchi in a white cheddar garlicky cream sauce 🤤 so I just go for filling, delicious meals but also balance it with a lot of sautéed veggies and chicken so that I still have energy to go through my week!

Viv's gain pt 1
"I really need to gain some weight"
Vivienne chuckled to her friends. Viv was 98 pounds and didn't eat a lot causing her to become something resembling a skeleton, she hated it but feared gaining weight just as much. Most of the group agreed saying things like "Go your pace."
or "As long as you're comfortable" and
"We are here to support you" but what Viv didn't know is that one person had different intentions. Scott remained suspiciously quiet, maybe a little flustered but no one noticed, was this his chance? would he finally find someone to... Before he could think, words spilled out of his mouth "You could come to mine Viv, I'm a great cook". Viv smiled and accepted his offer, "You could come round tonight if you would like", "Sound's great, I'll be there."
Later that day Viv arrived at Scotts' house wearing size 4 shorts that were loose around her waist and a wrinkled tank top, as she struggled to find anything that fit her slim body. Upon entering she noticed all the pasta he cooked, some gnocchi, mac and cheese, chicken alfredo, 3 entire bowls, surely that wasn't all for her, was it?
"What's with all the pasta Scott" her words slightly trembling
"Oh heh, I had no idea what type of pasta you liked and my service is terrible out here, I didn't get a chance to ask." he smiled "Any leftovers, I will just save in the fridge."
Viv nodded, Scott was so thoughtful, and to be honest, she liked all these options, it would be hard to pick.
"In that case could I..." she hesitated "hm, could I have some chicken alfredo?"
Scott served her her dinner, not grabbing a bowl for himself, and put on a movie. "Oh shoot! I almost forgot, would you like a drink? I have water, hot chocolate, coffee, anything you would like."
"A hot chocolate would be nice" Viv replied.
Scott smirked, "Perfect choice." He had recently bought some chocolate-flavoured weight gain powder, even if Viv wasn't going to eat much yet, this was sure the help her get started.
The movie ended, Viv had finished her meal and her hot chocolate and as she stood Scott could see that the ill-fitting shorts from a few hours ago had begun to look quite fitting.
Viv hugged Scott on the way out, "This was great, you really made me feel comfortable here, I would love to do this often"
Scott felt his chest flutter, was he really going to be able to pull this off? "Y-Yeah totally, any requests?"
"Surprise me" Viv replied. I definitely will Scott smirked.
Their meetup happened quite a few more times over 3 weeks, by the third week Scott had convinced Viv to have dessert that was filled with lots of heavy cream, although she didn't know that part. This would prove to turn the tables.
Week 4, one month in, Viv hadn't really noticed many changes and she promised herself she wouldn't look at the scale, she did realise her shorts from a month ago had begun to be snug and left red marks on her after she sat down for a while, but that was a normal part of weight gain, it's what she wanted after all, and plus, she still looked quite slim. For today's dinner, she decided to wear those same shorts and tank top, it was the first thing Scott noticed about her, at this stage, it was hard to tell, but for Scotts' trained eye it was easy to see her shorts were starting to dig, a very slight layer of chub folding over her shorts. "Welcome Viv, tonight I decided to order in, I have McDonalds on the table, I ordered a lot, take your pick"
Viv eagerly walked into his home, and picked out a Bigmac, sprite and 10 chicken nuggets, "Is that all?" Scott asked curiously, "I figured you should have a little extra today, given it's a month since we started doing this."
Viv reluctantly agreed, he had spent a lot of money on this, may as well have some more, so she grabbed a cheeseburger as well. It was halfway through tonight's movie she had finished the burger, drink and fries, Viv's shorts were feeling exceptionally tight and her tank top had no wrinkles left, she shifted uncomfortably and debated undoing her button - no, I dont want him to notice, I will finish this last cheeseburger, wait for the movie to be over, leave, order new shorts and Scott won't realise. Though physically she had made progress, mentally she was still ashamed of other people actually noticing her gain. She bit into the burger, and another bite, struggling to swallow, feeling her body screaming - but she refused to waste Scott's money, when suddenly *pop* the button on her shorts gave way, her newfound pooch jiggled out in front and was double - hell maybe even triple the size it was this morning. Viv's face instantly turned red, her heart pounding out of her chest, maybe Scott didnt notice? Viv turned her head, her eyes would have met with scotts if it wasnt for the fact he was staring at her growing tummy, he was speechless. Flustered, Viv tried hopelessly to pull down her tank top but given its size, it just rolled back up, continuously revealing the pudge on display then Scott began to speak, "That was hot-"
"Excuse me?" Viv couldn't believe what she just heard,
"I- uh, well" Scott started to look as red as she was, "It's just, you look so good with that pudge on you." He said bluntly.
Viv blushed, was this still embarrassment or was it turning into - no no no, "W-what are you saying?" she stuttered.
Scott figured he had nothing to lose, "I'm saying I am into fat girls and - and I want to make you my pig."
Viv was shocked, she had no idea what to say.
"I will cook dinners, buy you new clothes and feed you anything you want."
Viv still didn't respond, she looked down at her belly, grabbing the little amount of flab between her hands, feeling the supple softness of her body, this actually feels kinda good. "Okay, I'll try."
Scott smiled "Well, first things first - finish that burger"
Viv took a deep breath, finished the cheeseburger, and with that, her feederism journey began.
To be continued.
This is my first time writing, and it is quite obvious, any tips you guys have to improve are welcome <3
In the next one, I plan to get that done within the week and also involve more feederism in it, if anyone sees this I am happy to include requests >:)

Could you 👉🏼👈🏼 perhaps do a little fic where a plus size reader wants to share clothes with Marc but she can’t because he’s so small and his clothes don’t fit her? Maybe angsty that ends in fluff or hurt/comfort??
I love you by the way ;-;
I LOVE YOU TOO!!!! Whipped this up real quick, not proof read, too tired.
Marc Spector X plus size!Reader
Masterlist here
Warnings! body image, illusions to sex. Marc Spector typical stuff.
Imagine this is Marc and he’s eating soup for the fic
*********************************************
“God-fucking-dammit!” You exclaim, spilling the soup on your PJ shirt you were wearing. You were already having a shitty day, but were looking forward to a cozy night in with Marc. Just you, him, Jurassic Park and chicken and gnocchi soup from work.
“Oh, shit, you okay, baby?” Marc took the bowl of hot soup from your hands to prevent more spilling. “Did it burn you?”
You stand up, walking over to the kitchen to clean your shirt and hide your tears from Marc. You were so, so frustrated and this was the last straw. “I’m fine.” You get a cool, wet wash clothe and try to clean off the creamy soup off, to no avail.
“Don’t worry about that,” He takes your hand, knowing you’re upset and need skin to skin contact. “Just wear one of my shirts tonight, I’ll wash this tomorrow.”
You scoff, perhaps more aggressively than you meant to, yanking your hand away to keep working.
Marc moves to lean against the counter, trying to catch your eye. “What’s wrong?”
You are furiously trying to clean while keeping the shirt pulled away from your sensitive, burned skin. “I can’t-” Your voice wavers, and you take a deep breath. The grip on your shirt slips, and you accidentally scrub the shirt against your raw skin. “Fuck!”
He stood up straight, turning you towards him. “C’mon, hon. Let me see”
You pout, but drop your hands to allow him access. He unbuttoned your shirt to reveal the red burn. He winces, but tells you to stay still while he grabs his overzealous first aid kit that rivaled an ER room.
He takes out the burn cream, gently rubbing a thick layer over your chest, stomach and breasts. He was deep in thought, staring at your skin that really wasn’t that badly burned. “You can’t what?” He asks.
“Huh?” You forgot what you were talking about, distracted by his ever gentle touch. It was amazing how he could fuck you into the mattess, but bandage you up with the tender movement of a loving mother he never had. “Oh.” You remembered. “I can’t um… I can’t fit in your clothes Marc.” He tries to look up at you, but you quickly dodge his eyes.
Marc finished with the large burn, then faced you. You realized he probably never thought of that, but you thought of it all the goddamn time. Unlike other couples, you can't steal his sweaters or god-forbid, slip in his sweatpants. Not with his little bitty hips.
He starts “I-”
“Why do you even like me?” You interrupt, your spiraling thoughts taking over.
Shock and confusion floods his face, before it softens. Marc pulls you into his arms. “I don’t just like you, honey. I love you.”
You accepted the hug and returned it, but you were unconvinced. “But why me? Look at you, you could have anyone and anything. You could be dating a supermodel” Marc scoffed at that, but you continued. “Layla is stunning. I don’t understand how you went from her to me.”
“Hey!” Marc pulled back, face fraught with concern. “Baby, where is this coming from?” All you do is shrug. “Honey, look at me.” Taking your chin in his hand, he guided your face to him. “Believe me when I tell you, you are sexy as hell” His big brown eyes looking at you without a bit of a lie. “I love the way you look” He glances down your body where your shirt is still open, when he looks back at your, there's the hint of desire in his eyes. “But also, you are kind, you are loving, you are gentle, you don’t put up with my bullshit but you also allow me to be broken when I need to be... I love you, every part.”
You finally allow yourself to melt into his touch. He meant it.
“I love you, Marc.” You kiss his stubble-covered beard.
“I love you too, sweetheart.” He kissed into your hair, the tone shifting more sensual. As his hands slide over your bare body (avoiding the burns) he nips at your neck, sending shivers down your body before Marc whispers. “Now, what do you say we run this shirt through the wash, and I’ll keep you busy enough that you don’t have to worry about being clothed for a few hours.”

Hey who wants a recipe for a super easy and tasty dinner?
Pierogies with Sausage and Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients:
Pierogies, frozen, any kind, 2 small boxes or one family pack (the mini pierogies are easier to work with but it doesn't matter)
1 pkg beef smoked sausage or kielbasa
1 bag pre-halved brussel sprouts (they're a little more expensive than cutting them up yourself but not by much, and to my mind they're worth it)
Butter
Seasonings:
Adobo
Onion powder
Smoked paprika
Thyme
Optional:
Sour cream
Chives
You also need a large pan (can use a dutch oven in a pinch, though it's not ideal) and a medium pot
In the pan, melt half a stick of butter and begin sauteeing the sprouts. This is the part that takes the longest! You want them soft and beginning to caramelize - get a stool and put it by the stove so you can browse tumblr while stirring occasionally
While they're cooking, cut the sausage up into coins and fill the pot up with water to boil (don't fill it too full, you're gonna put pierogies in there!)
When the sprouts look good and are starting to turn a nice golden brown, hit them with the seasonings (measure with your heart) and add the sausage. Continue sautéing until the sausage starts to brown.
Around the time you add the sausage, your water should have started to boil! Add your frozen pierogies and let them cook until they start to float.
When the pierogies are floating and the sausage is browned, drain the pierogies (or just scoop them out with a slotted spoon) and add them to the pan. Let them get nice and coated with the seasoned butter mixture (you can add more butter or oil here if the pan seems too dry) and let the whole mixture sizzle a bit while you gently stir.
Plop it on a plate or a bowl, either plain or with some sour cream and chives. It is delicious.
("Griff, can I substitute chicken for sausage/broccoli for brussel sprouts/gnocchi for pierogies?" You can do what you want forever, all of those sound amazing. "But Griff, I don't have those seasonings!" Use what you do have. If you don't have adobo, use garlic salt; if you don't have smoked paprika use regular paprika; if you don't have thyme, use sage. If you don't have any of those, hit it with some salt and pepper, it'll be fine. If you don’t have salt and pepper, you can get some at the dollar store.)
Everyone in my family loves this, even the kiddo, and even though the sprouts take awhile it's genuinely very easy and difficult to mess up!

hi beck!!<3 who in the world is itscourtneyluna??
vic hi for the love of god hello! thank you (or sorry) for asking…
she’s a tiktoker who partakes in the “carnivore diet” wherein she only eats animal products and byproducts, so just meat and dairy. it’s like extreme keto in that she eats zero fruits or vegetables, but fat content seems to be valued over protein because she rarely eats poultry and generally sticks to red meat. it can cause weight loss due to the complete lack of carbs, but this is obviously not a healthy way to lose weight.
in courtney’s case, i believe she used to post regular baking content on tiktok, then she shifted at some point to what she called “carnivore-ish” where she ate some fruits and vegetables but tried to eat mostly meat/dairy (probably to lose weight). but now she maintains that she’s fully carnivore, to the point where she doesn’t even season her food (besides salt) because seasonings come from plants 😟
itscourtneyluna is an enigma to me. she seems like a troll at first glance because she’s clearly using people’s interest in bizarre food content on tiktok in her favor for rage clicks, but at the same time, she wholeheartedly endorses the alleged “health benefits” of eating a high saturated fat zero carb diet. she will respond to criticism saying everyone is sheeple for eating balanced diets, and that even doctors and nutritionists are unreliable because they were taught the wrong information.
she drinks coffee even though it comes from a plant, and gets upset when people point that out because she “should be allowed to enjoy things even if they’re not 100% carnivore” which like yes queen. absolutely. but you’re the one who led us to believe that a single pepper flake would kill you, so we’re just a little confused.
here are some of the recipes she posts (the ingredients listed are the only ones involved. no seasonings ever.) that tend to go viral because they’re so rage-inducing:
“chaffles” - eggs and shredded cheese melted in a waffle maker, typically used in place of a bun
“beef and butter bites” - ground beef and butter frozen into christmas themed molds
“pre workout” - a bite of kerrygold butter washed down with heavy cream (a direct quote)
“carnivore soup” - ground pork, beef broth, cream cheese, and salt
“carnivore cracker” - a slice of cheese melted in a mini waffle maker until it’s crunchy
“carnivore ice cream” - cream, egg, and salt poured into an ice cream maker
“carnivore pasta” - ground chicken mixed with eggs cut into small pieces, boiled in water, and fried to (allegedly) resemble gnocchi (her words) with a sauce made of butter, cream, and parmesan
“carnivore crispies cereal” - pork rinds with half and half poured over them and eaten in a bowl with a spoon
“carnivore candy” - melted brown butter frozen in candy molds
“carnivore crack” - melted brown butter with “bacon sprinkles” frozen on a sheet pan and broken into chunks as one would with candy bark
and listen. im autistic. i eat weird stuff sometimes. i think people should be able to eat whatever they want without having to answer to anyone. however.
it becomes an issue when you claim everyone should be eating that way, and spread misinformation that was just created to sell shit. this is part of the fascination for me; how can she participate and perpetuate something so blatantly incorrect?
she also likes joe rogan. this woman is not real.
#oh my god. i knew i was gonna write a lot but jfc#if you read all this i love you and im sorry i have such strange hyperfixations#the worst part is i have so much more to say but ive been writing this since last night and i have to stop#asks#mutuals#zkbfksjfjswije#also ily vic 💕

🍝 — favorite food(s)? 🍦 — favorite ice cream flavor(s)? 🍰 — favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)?
Munday ask meme - Always accepting!
YOU PICKED ALL THE LENGTHY ONES
alright
Favorite foods: I adore ratatouille. Onion and tomato and zucchini. It's so simple, but it's so good. Any kind of fried rice is also very high on the list, along with gnocchi. Gnocchi is my favorite type of pasta. ESPECIALLY with bolognese sauce, just... augh. Both of the ramen places I've been to nearby have had kimchi ramen, and the flavors of that are always amazing. SOUP DUMPLINGS TOO OH MY GOD I could go on but I have two other sections to get through. And Goulash and orange beef and udon noodles and chicken curry buns adhagdgfaabhda
alright so ice cream. I'm from the midwest, so blue moon is a favorite of mine. I also really like butter pecan and black cherry. I'm not super big on ice cream but black cherry ice cream with the actual cherry pieces in it is REALLY good.
As far as desserts go, I really like banana cream pie or just like any kind of custard-based pie (Not key lime, I do not like lime.) My mom also makes this pie that's essentially just pie crust with cannoli filling in it and it's really good. I really like donuts, but I've become kind of picky as far as donuts go. I prefer filled ones but they can't be the mediocre grocery store donuts they gotta be GOOD. I also just love any kind of sweet pastry. French, Italian, Danish, doesn't matter. While I prefer the more delicate ones, sweets are sweets, right?

Top 5 dishes (you would never get tired of eating)?
ooooh, okay not in any particular order
Banh Mi - vietnamese style sandwich haha. it has cold cut meats, carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, butter, and pate on a french baguette. you can obviously have different things inside, but i love, love, love the way they make it at one of our local vietnamese sandwich shops (as listed above). and it's not too heavy so, like, if i had to only eat this for the rest of my life, at least i wouldn't feel sick to my stomach :')
Lo Bak Go (cantonese), or fried turnip cakes in English. This is a dish that you can find at dim sum. IDK. This has always been a favourite of mine since I was a kid, so it's also got a lot of fond nostalgic memories for me. <3
Garlic cheese bread. Listen. Just put some butter, garlic, and cheese on some toast, and I'm happy. :') Like. It never gets old??? If I was in a financial pinch, it wouldn't be the worst living off of this, I'm just saying. :') :')
Gnocchi - when it's made well i will go absolutely feral over it. many years ago when i visited Verona with a friend, i wanted to cry because i had a truffle gnocchi dish that was so splendid. like, melt-in-your-mouth-everything-in-your-life-has-led-you-to-this-moment-and-this-moment-only splendid. i still dream about that gnocchi hahahaha
Aaand hmm, there's this chicken suqaar wrap from a local Somolian cafe that i get lots of cravings for :') I suspect it's because their sabayad flatbread is nice and buttery and they use a house-made garlic dressing and a cilantro cream sauce and idk my taste buds are always having a good time when i eat those :')

Ok what food are we gettin’??
Ooouuu friend we got choices! I know some great kbbq spots in my area unless you want korean fried chicken then there's one place that makes the best lemon pepper wings. Each bite is juicy and crunchy and it's all made fresh. Their tteokbokki with cheese and ramen is 🤌.
If you're not feeling korean food then I know some good Thai places and sushi restaurants too! The Thai curry is sooo good and the sushi place has an all you can eat option where you eat as much as you want in a couple of rounds. Highly recommend the garlic butter edamame and takoyaki 🤤
We can do Ramen or curry! We can also karaoke afterwards and get some drinks with cheese foam and desserts 😋
OR I can take you to one of my favorite brazillian restaurants. They have great pastas and their steak salad has caramelized pears in it that go so well with the steak. If you're feeling pasta then I recommend the 4 cheese gnocchi or the shrimp and chicken pasta in a spicy cream sauce. Fair warning though...we just might end up seeing a musical or a show if we go here since it's near a couple of theaters.
Unfortunately because of covid my other favorite restaurant closed. It was called the stinkin rose. It was all garlic on the menu. They even had a garlic ice cream. Good news is that the original still stands in San Fran.
The list goes on lol. These are just some of the places I love going to and taking others too 😊

TW: disordered eating
I don’t know why but I am having trouble eating certain foods.
I just have a gut feeling I shouldn’t eat certain foods and it’ll feel “wrong” in my mouth. My banana bread was too banana-y. Oatmeal was a weird texture at that moment. Things like that. If I take a first bite and I feel any aversion at all, I just won’t be able to continue eating.
Safe foods for me are things like macaroni and cheese (only certain brands), specific fast food sandwiches, Hawaiian rolls, fruits and some veggies and other things. I can eat a lot of things usually. It’s just gotten harder lately.
My thing with food has gotten worse the last month, but I have a looong history of disordered eating. In high school I did heavy calorie restriction, exercise and some purging. Then I stopped starving and a year later I gained back most of what I lost. Years later in college I would be at a relatively healthy weight. When I got into my current relationship however I started gaining a lot of weight. I know it’s “happy” weight from being in love, but I definitely have gained too much. Now I’m at this point where I just have such a warped relationship with food.
I decided to go to the grocery store and get a little bit of groceries for me. Just some food to help me feel like I have options. I got milk, heavy cream, raspberries, little cheese snack boxes, frozen lobster macaroni, beer battered fish filets, trail mix, a small wheel of Brie cheese and apples. I was going to buy some strawberries also, but I was $2 over my budget so I asked to remove the item.
I have had a snack cheese thing and some raspberries. I’m making Olive Garden chicken and gnocchi soup for dinner. For lunch I’m going to have my lobster Mac n cheese. I have my meals planned out and that makes me feel safe. I don’t have to panic over trying to figure out what I can eat.
I just am trying to eat better and have a healthier relationship with food. I am learning to love what I see in the mirror. When I get dressed I will sometimes stand in front of my bedroom mirror and try to appreciate my body. I turn to the side and admire my ass, I rub my stomach tenderly in small circles and cup my breasts just for fun. Not for anyone but me.
Today I am home. I worked the last few days so I’m going to try to not do too much more today.
I also cleaned our dryer vent to hopefully help it to fully dry our clothes. It’s been blowing cool air. Fingers crossed.
I think I’m doing well emotionally. I just am really anxious about my food issues and my obsessive picking. I want to get better. Im trying to practice mindful thinking. When I pick and I realize what I’m doing I try to think about what my body is feeling. Is it anxiety? Fear? Frustration? Hunger? It can be many things at once. It helps to check in and try to figure out how I’m feeling

It’s the end of the week and I’m here to share some of my best meals. I’m going to start this post off with my breakfast quesadillas. I made 4 eggs(2 per quesadilla) and then added Mexican cheese to a whole wheat tortilla. I also made some guacamole to dip my quesadillas in. I ordered a rice bowl from Halal Shack that consisted of brown rice, black beans, grilled chicken, lettuce, spinach, kale, quinoa, mozzarella, white sauce, and green chutney. This was my first rice bowl from Halal Shack and I thought it was pretty tasty. Lastly, I made pesto gnocchi, I used a rustic garlic pesto and added heavy whipping cream to the sauce. I love gnocchi and pesto sauce so it was a 10/10 for me. The food just keeps getting better and I’ll keep everyone posted next week.

Pesto pasta recipe
Thai basil is really the only kind that's too pungent for this recipe. When buying fresh basil, look for vibrant green leaves with no sports or wilting. You need fresh basil leaves to make pesto. But its flavor is very different from fresh basil. It's fun to use a mortar and pestle, but the modern way is much easier.ĭried basil is fine for flavoring sauces, soups, and other dishes. The most popular variety of pesto now is made by "crushing" basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and some hard cheese in a food processor or blender, but there are many varieties of pesto like sun dried tomato pesto or kale pesto. It dates back from Roman times when Genoans would crush walnuts with herbs and garlic. Pesto should have a little texture to it so be careful not to puree it Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pulse the ingredients together until well blended. While the food processor or blender is running, drizzle in the olive oil and continue blending, scraping down the sides as needed, until the pesto is puréed. In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, garlic, toasted pine nuts, kosher salt and pepper. Chicken, shrimp and sausage are our personal favourites but you can add any protein you like.Originally from Genoa, Italy, pesto traces its name to the Italian word "pestare," which means "to crush or pound." For hundreds of years, pesto was made by pounding the ingredients in a mortar and pestle. Place everything in the food processor and pulse until combined. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions drain well. In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, garlic, toasted pine nuts, kosher salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until the chicken is slightly browned on the outside. Add 2 Tbsp butter to a deep skillet and melt over medium heat. Its great on pasta, baked potatoes, pizza, or bread. Cut one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. This recipe is perfect as is for an easy vegetarian meal, but we often add protein to the pasta or on the side. Homemade pesto is one of the best ways to enjoy a bounty of fresh basil. Another good option is gnocchi! What to serve with creamy pesto pasta Small shapes like shells or bow ties work well as well as longer noodles like fettucine. You can choose any pasta shape you like for serving up with with this creamy pesto sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss it all together, using reserved pasta water if needed to thin out sauce.Once it begins to bubble, add the milk or cream and whisk until the sauce thickens.it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser (even the pickiest eaters I know like pesto)Ĭreamy pesto sauce is made by combining a traditional pesto sauce with cream or milk.the recipe uses simple ingredients you likely have on hand.While the pasta is cooking, heat a frying pan and add oil. it takes only 20 minutes from start to finish Creamy chicken pesto pasta recipe Cook pasta as per pack directions.I prefer to use my homemade Basil Pesto, whether I make it fresh or go into my freezer stash (details on how I freeze pesto in the post linked above). When we first went to Italy, we experienced what pesto pasta should really taste like, over the years we’ve experimented and while this isn’t strictly traditional, we think you’ll agree that it’s absolutely delicious Why you’ll love this pasta recipe. He tosses it with delicate angel hair pasta for a flavorful. Treat yourself to the perfect midweek meal with our creamy, nutty pesto al pasta recipe. You can use jarred pesto for this or make your own. Tyler's simple, classic pesto sauce comes together with just 5 ingredients (plus a little salt and pepper). What I also love about this dish? It’s ready in 20 minutes! Perfect for busy weeknights and with simple ingredients I always have on hand. Ingredients 1 x 500g pack courgettes 1 tbsp olive oil 50g young spinach 2 garlic cloves 2 tbsp lemon juice 75g Parmesan (or vegetarian alternative). Clearly, I named my blog Herbs & Flour for a reason! This creamy pesto pasta is one of those dishes that I absolutely love for its herby, nutty flavour all thanks for basil pesto. When it comes to herby dishes, I am in heaven.
