Tasty meal, but expected better

Pros-More filling than expected, lots of good veggies, about 50/50 with pasta in proportion.
Cons-Even carefully following instructions, zucchini was a bit overcooked, as it was sliced very thin. Seemed a bit drab in taste. Used a half lemon on each serving to perk it up, as well as salt and pepper. A sprinkle of crushed red pepper would have helped also should have thought of that.
Overall, a very good dish. Had read the reviews in advance and my expectations were perhaps unrealistically high.

Summer Delight

I tried the Pesto Primavera dish, and found it a perfect choice for a summer evening. All the ingredients blended well, and veggies were a nice light accompaniment to the pesto pasta on a warm day.

Taste was good

This was good but definitely not as pictured. I did not see any asparagus heads, only the chopped stems, the zucchini slices were extremely thin. This is a meal that is probably best when first prepared otherwise the individual flavors of the spices get lost

Still happy!

This was a perfect “meatless Monday” meal. Very fresh, looked just like the picture on my plates. Please make more meatless meals like this!
