So delicious! My kind of dinner!

I'm going to try this recipe. Do you also simmer the butter with the milk? I don't see where the butter comes into play with these instructions.
-
is it 1/2 cup (listed in ingredients) of milk or 1 cup (directions).

wondering the same...

I made it today. 1/2 cup milk and melt the butter into the milk/pesto sauce. I used 2 cups shredded chicken, delicious and will make again
-
Is it 1/2 cup or 1? I used 1. I was in such a hurry making this and followed the instructions carefully. I was frustrated to find I had left out the butter because it was left out of the instructions!
-
Curious about the artichokes, marinated or not? Photo makes me think marinated but don't want to overwhelm flavor?
-
This was delicious! I used 1/2 cup of milk but wondering if I should have used 1 cup so there would be more sauce. Some of the tortellini was hard on the top because it got so dry. Is it 1 or 1/2 cup milk and any way to prevent the noodles from hardening?
-
I added ~1 lb of cubed chicken. This was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
-
