Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I accidentally used too much salt and the dish was too salty. Next time I will be more careful.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I used arugula pesto instead. It was still delicious.

I'm a vegetarian so I used tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great!

I added some sun-dried tomatoes to the pesto and it gave it a nice tangy flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta was undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 5 minutes.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used store-bought pesto and it still tasted delicious.
