Very good, I did cut back on the mustard as others suggested, used about 2 taplesppons instead of 1/4 cup. DH loved it too. Best of all, it was super fast and easy

I used the Classico pesto. I really think this is too much mustard. (I know, it says spicy, so I won't mention the "burn.") The pesto, and even the cheese, were barely tasted - the mustard just took over.

Excellent! So easy and flavorful. The fragrance filled the house. I followed the suggestions of others who used less mustard -- about half. It was just right for our tastes. We think 1/4 c. Dijon would overwhelm the other flavors. Thanks for sharing.
