This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but this dish was still very good. The charred green onions added a nice smokiness to the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The pesto was flavorful and the rotini was cooked al dente. I added some grilled chicken to the dish for extra protein.
