Wonderful!!! Made with spinach instead of arugula and used homemade pesto with basil from the garden. Grilled chicken for those who wanted it on top. My daughter said this is like a fancy restaurant meal

I'm not a fan, but I can still see myself eating it from time to time. In particular when I want to eat something super quick, easy and a bit comfort-food-like, something with strong flavor (that it has). Also, different people, different tastes: my mother loved it!

Absolutely yummy! Added some extra garlic to the pesto and it gave the pasta a nice garlicky flavor

I made this with whole wheat pasta and spinach instead of arugula. It was delicious, and so quick and simple. It took longer to boil the pasta than it took me to put the meal together! My husband said it was restaurant quality. Yum!

Wow! This was fast, easy and turned out great! We added a little more pesto and some chicken for a protein, and it was awesome!

Turned out great... we let the fresh mozzarella soften a little bit/melt more and it spread out the flavor nicely throughout the dish. Will make again

The flavors are there and it was definitely easy to make. Don't toss the pasta in a hot skillet for too long otherwise the mozzarella can melt and change the way the dish was intended to be served. In fact, I will be tossing in a bowl, away from additional heat, next time I make it.

Replaced mozzarella with Asiago .. and added baked of girl tofu that I cooked in the oven 👍🏼👍🏼

Easy recipe that’s good on the side of almost anything or can be a cold party pasta dish. I used feta cheese over mozzarella because that’s what I had in my kitchen. I don’t think the recipe needs the extra garlic, and olive oil when pesto itself is pretty garlicky.

Delicious and healthy! I did not include the mozzarella, because I don't care for cheese, and it was wonderful. My store bought pesto had some parmesan, but if I use my homemade cheese-less pesto, I'm sure it would be just as tasty for a vegan version.

Delicious! Very flavorful without any changes. And it was very easy to make, which is always a win in our house!

Good! Used homemade kale pesto though which came out well. Could easily sub tomatoes, spinach, just about any veggie in here. Broccoli would be good too.

It was a good, easy recipe. Just needed salt and pepper. I think we melted the cheese too much, it probably would have been a little better if we waited longer before adding the cheese. Will probably make again!
