Why did I watch this video late at night when I’m hungry?! Ingrid I’m a
pesto freak so I love this recipe, actually thinking about trying it
tonight! It reminds me of a meal I got over at naples in downtown disney
but instead of chicken it had shrimp. Love your videos ingrid, everything
you do is so well put together. Perfection 🙂 
It’s painful to watch her ‘cook’. 
make something homemade? with packaged pesto.
Wow, groundbreaking recipe Ingrid! You boiled noodles, cooked chicken, and
put on some pesto that you bought from a store! You truly are a real chef,
you deserve to be on food network with these kinds of recipes.
Ingrid you dont have to always talk SO FUCKING SLOWLY
All the hate comments are fucking stupid. Just shows how jealous people
are. Ingrid is fit and gorgeous and an awesome YouTuber. Her recipes are
quick and easy and healthier than most of the crap people eat. Shut up if
you’re a hater because you’re ruining the fun of watching!!!
Tbh you talk so long and make the video very long. Like you don’t have to
talk about other things then the recipe 
Why are there no veggies?? Seems quit boring and unhealthy
She’s a joke trying to cook. Dairy free pesto but puts cheese on top.
Seriously? Haha 
nice recipe but why is she cooking like as if she just got her nails
painted lol
Ingrid sucks. I’m so tired of her trying to act like she’s “healthy.”
So much negativity over a simple cooking video. Don’t overthink it. 
Why do people put spices in those pinch bowls? Why not just take the
container and shake it on the food? You waste half the spices, from
putting your hands in there!
Why are so many people hating on Ingrid? Can a hater please answer?
What is pesto made out of?
“…of course they’re poka dotted with bows on them.” We really don’t care
if your oven mitts have bows on them lol. 
But like.. you don’t have to like the recipes she produces and she knows
she isn’t a professional cook – she just likes to share what she eats. If
you don’t like what she does that’s fine, but what do you get out of
calling her a “joke” or being rude? You literally just look pathetic trying
to be mean to someone over the internet. If her technique is wrong, there
are always ways to correct it nicely. If you don’t like it – close the
video! It costs nothing to be nice.
The comments on this video are so pretentious and snobby.
1.)These videos are catered to an audience that may not be as familiar to
cooking. So to all who are complaining about how “basic” they are, nowhere
does she claim to be a gourmet chef. Even the simplest of recipes can be
helpful to people who genuinely are not good at cooking or are starting out.
2.) Pesto IS healthy for you- all of the ingredients in it are good for
you, so long as you don’t overdo it. Olive oil, basil, nuts.. these are all
ingredients that are healthy. People on YouTube seem to be under the notion
that if a recipe isn’t just lean meat and vegetables, that it can’t be
healthy at all for you which is nonsense. You will not get enough calories
in your diet if every single meal of the day was simply lean meat and
vegetables. She even used a healthier pasta, and lean chicken which are
both good for you.
3.) She could have made her own pesto, but again, it’s a basic recipe and
she mentioned that it was meant to be quick. And for those flipping out,
none of the ingredients in the pesto she used had any chemicals,
preservatives, or junk in it. It was all healthy ingredients. Yes, it can
be better to make your own, BUT using packaged can be healthy if it’s the
right kind. You would be flat-out lying if you claimed that every single
meal you make does not contain SOME kind of packaged food. Weeding out
packaged food and limiting it is best, but not all is bad for you. Reading
labels and being smart about it can be healthy. 
Why are people hating on Ingrid? Yes, making your own pesto is healthier
because you ensure there are no chemicals/nasty stuff but buying pesto is
okay. 
I wondered.. How did Ingrid go from beauty guru to internet chef? I love
that most of the beauty gurus turn into something else.. But still? I love
this video, since I study a LOT! so it’s easy! 
This sounds so weird but the only time Ive ever had pesto was in the
Dominican Republic on vacation! It was really good lol. And made right
infront of us
