The pesto was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I found that the pesto was a little too oily for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less olive oil.

The red pesto was a nice change from the traditional green pesto. It had a slightly sweet flavor that I really enjoyed.
