This dish was a disaster. The tofu was burnt and the pesto sauce was curdled.

I didn't like this dish. The tofu was too firm and the pesto sauce was too salty.

I found this dish to be a bit too oily. The pesto sauce was a bit heavy and the tofu didn't have much flavor.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. The tofu was a bit bland, but the pesto sauce made up for it.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tofu and pasta cooked in no time, and the pesto sauce came together in minutes.

I'm not a huge tofu fan, but this dish was really good. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pesto sauce was flavorful and creamy.
