This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thick and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

The sauce was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto sauces, but this one was really good! The almond flavor was subtle and the sauce was very creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This almond pesto pasta is a delightful dish that combines the nutty flavor of almonds with the freshness of basil and garlic. The result is a creamy, flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with pasta. I highly recommend trying this recipe!
