This was wonderful, I made this using a package of Olivieri Basil Pesto Sauce and omitted the lemon juice however I did make the remainder as stated with a few amount adjustments, I am going to try again using my own Kittencal's Perfect Pesto mixed with a little cream sauce, great recipe Sherri thank you for posting!
