I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pesto turned out really grainy. I think I might have used too much olive oil.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. The ingredients were all very high quality, but I think I could have found a cheaper alternative.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would add some more salt and pepper to the pesto next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pistachio pesto was creamy and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the pasta.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The pesto can be made ahead of time, so all you have to do is cook the pasta and toss it with the pesto.

I added some grilled chicken to this dish, and it was delicious! The chicken added a nice protein boost, and it went well with the pesto and pasta.

I substituted arugula for the basil in the pesto, and it turned out great! The arugula gave the pesto a peppery flavor that I really enjoyed.

I used a food processor to make the pesto, which made it really easy. The pasta was cooked al dente, which is the way I like it. Overall, this is a great recipe that is easy to follow and produces delicious results.
