I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pesto turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much arugula.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought pesto. I'll try making my own pesto next time.

I'm not a big fan of smoked mozzarella, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed it! The smokiness of the mozzarella was subtle and it paired well with the tomato pesto.

This recipe was a disaster! The pesto was too oily and the smoked mozzarella was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The pesto was a bit bland for my taste, but the smoked mozzarella made up for it. Overall, it was a good dish.

This dish was a bit too smoky for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was very good.
