This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I used too much salt when I was making the pesto. Next time I'll use less salt and see how it turns out.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and red pepper flakes next time I make it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The only thing I would change is that I would add a little bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little bit of a kick.

I made this dish for my family and they all loved it! Even my picky kids ate it all up. The pesto was especially good. I used a store-bought pesto, but I think it would be even better if I made my own.
