Another great recipe from Mary!! This was so good and so easy. And great heated up the next day.
Thanks Maggie!
Agree with other reviews, mine also came out white and runny. The flavors were there, but I think a thicker sauce would’ve been better.
I made this and the color is totally different – white instead of the pretty orange in the pic. It is also pretty watery. Haven’t tried it yet – it may still taste wonderful. Any suggestion on what to do differently next time/
Just made this tonight for the first time and it was a hit! Paired it with linguini for the kiddos and added a little bit of cheese to make it creamier but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Thanks again for a great, quick and easy weeknight meal!
I love most of Mary’s blog recipes, but this wasn’t my favorite. I can’t pinpoint what it was exactly, but the flavor combination didn’t do it for me! The sundried tomatoes very much dominated the dish and I would have liked more flavor from the basil and coconut milk.
Delicious! Just made it to serve over rice and it is amazing. A nice light, healthy meal. Thank you for sharing.
