Very good....I skipped the cashews, but otherwise did everything per recipe. My family really enjoyed it. Thanks very much.

I think this was great, my husband was a little less enthusastic thus we split the difference and gave it a four. I used fresh basil and used all chicken stock (in place of both of wine and water) but otherwise made as written. Will make again.

A good array of flavours happening here, so easy to make too. The lemon uplifts, & I found I could do without the cashews. Served as a side to chicken.
