Re: Pesto Chicken "Pasta"
This recipe looked very interesting until the next to last line which reads: Add spaghetti squash, sun-dried tomatoes, and bell pepper. The recipe does not say how to cook the squash, tomatoes and bell pepper. The ingredients mention to add "cooked squash" and the bell pepper is marked as optional with no indication of whether it should be cooked or raw when adding to chicken. I would appreciate your assistance in this matter
