Pasta salad was fantastic and great for leftovers. Mushrooms were good too but cooked down very thin and flat and cheese melted down the sides. I would maybe try a thicker but not as large piece of cheese next time.
0 HelpfulThe portobello pizzas were tasty! The pasta salad was fine - nothing special, but easy and palatable. An enjoyable meal overall, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to make it again.
0 HelpfulNo complaints! I find portobello mushrooms a bit hard to work with, but the flavor was good. The pasta salad was a bit bland for my taste.
0 HelpfulLoved this! Even the boyfriend that doesn't love mushrooms loved it. I ended up using sun-dried tomato pesto just because I don't like basil.
0 HelpfulI was indifferent to the pasta salad, but I LOVED these. Simple simple simple and so tasty. I used Trader Joe's pesto once, and then after making the red pesto for the stuffed chicken recipe, I used that and loved that more than the green pesto. Yum.
