I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. The pesto is delicious and the cashews and cranberries add a nice crunch. I highly recommend it!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pesto was good, but the cashews and cranberries were a bit too sweet for me. I think I would have liked it better with just the pesto and rotini.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make the pesto from scratch, which was time-consuming. The end result was good, but I think I'll stick to store-bought pesto next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was a little disappointed. The pesto was bland and the cashews and cranberries were too sweet. I think I'll stick to my regular pesto recipe.
