This was fabulous, and so easy, too! I made it exactly as posted, except I did not add the pine nuts. Wonderful, creamy texture. With so many strong-flavored ingredients, I didn't know what to expect, but it blended together deliciously! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game.

I made Kittencal's Perfect Pesto for this recipe and used your suggested chicken and cheese ravioli. I added chicken breasts which I cut into bite sized pieces and pan-fried before adding the sauce ingredients. The sauce is delicious and I greatly appreciate you posting this recipe. Very creative and the flavor is fantastic. Thank you for posting your creation!
