What's a family gathering or potluck without at least one pasta salad? This one's great freshly made or for several days after. We like it warm or cold. -Karen Hentges, Bakersfield, California

This dish was a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. The pesto was too oily and the pasta was gummy.

I was disappointed with this dish. The pesto was bland and the pasta was overcooked.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use milder peppers next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The pesto was a little too salty for my taste, but that's easily fixed.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the peppers balanced out the bitterness of the pesto, and the pasta was cooked al dente.

This sweet pepper pesto pasta was a hit with my family! The pesto was flavorful and creamy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.
