The pesto filling was a bit too salty for my taste. I'll use less salt next time.

The tomatoes were a bit undercooked for my liking. I'll cook them for a few more minutes next time.

These stuffed tomatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra garlic and herbs to the pesto filling next time.
