I made the recipe as is and it was completely dry. I wound up adding the whole jar of pesto (8oz) and that made it decent. It was very bland, though. My kids did like it, but DH and I found it tolerable.

This was a good and easy dish. I've made it twice already. It's definately not on the heavy side.

Good basic pesto recipe. While this won't wow anyone, it's a place to start.

It was good, only I thought it did not need more olive oil since there is enough of that in the Pesto. I think I will try creaminstead of extra olive oil, like someone else suggested.

wow this was such a hit with the family! I was worried that they would not like a dinner without meat! The only change was that I added some red pepper flakes. Yum- we will have regularly!!

Very nice. Pasta was a bit dry. But other than that. It was awesome. I added some Cherry Tomatoes...mainly because I love them.

The first time I made it I followed the recipe and it was good. The next time I made it I added more pesto and cheese and it was delicious!

I would suggest adding heavy cream and omit the olive oil.

This is an easy recipe to follow. I added more parmasan cheese and sliced black olives. This was a big hit with my family!

I doubled the pesto and olive oil and added garlic (2 cloves). Also added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and some Mrs Dash tomato basil garlic to liven it up a bit. Served with chicken apple sausage. My hubby said this was a definate keeper.

This pasta did not taste bad, but it just did not have much taste. I followed the recipe exactly, and I am not known to be a bad cook, but it just did not come out very well. I won't make this again!

This pasta is absolutely delicious! I did double the olive oil, pesto and onions. For a kick, I sauteed some garlic in the olive oil before adding the onions and pesto. Also, I crumbled some bacon on top of the dish for a little bit of a crunch. Perfection.

This recipe came out great BUT I changed it up a bit. I added red, yellow and orange bell peppers, chopped, and asparagus to the onion and pesto mixture. I used angel hair pasta. It came out really good, a nice, light, meal, but I think without the extra veggies it would have been kind of dull. I will definitely make this again, with whatever veggies are in season.

I think I used too much pasta because mine came out dry & not very green. I love the cheese, didn't like the onions but my mate did. I'll definitely try again without the onion & less pasta or more pesto.

Excellent! Added an extra tablespoon of pesto and tossed with high-fiber penne. Served with a salad and pan-fried texas toast. Yum, yum, YUM!
