    This recipe was amazing! My husband is a recent vegetarian and I have been finding some great recipes and this one tops it all. The pesto is soooo good. We really did enjoy this dish. I did place the panini on a panini grilled after topping the bread with all the wonderful vegetable to melt the cheese.

    These sandwiches were really good. I put a splash of balsamic vinager over the vegtables after I took them off the grill.

    The pesto was fantatic in this sandwhich. I debated not roasting the peppers but am so glad I did, so much flavour. Thanks Giada!

    Neither the recipe nor the video mention that you should press the sandwhiches under heat until the cheese melts, but I am assuming that everyone knows that it is an essential part of making any pannini.
    To prepare the vegetables, I used a Breville Panini Press and set it up under my range hood which took care of the smoky problems that some of the other reviewers warned about. I used a prepared pesto sauce, so the whole process took just 50 minutes from prepping the vegetables to serving the fabulous sandwiches. Great combination of flavors.

    The paninis were really tasty and everyone especially loved the pesto sauce. I had never made pesto sauce before but the accompanying recipe was pretty easy and tasty. For the sandwiches, grilling all the veggies took longer than expected but it was worth it and you can wrap the sandwiches in foil and refrigerate for later. Next time around, I would make more pesto sauce as it was barely enough for all the sandwiches.

    I made this yesterday for the first time and was very impressed. I love all the veggies that go into this anyway so I thought I would take a chance. It is a little time consuming but worth the trouble. My husband loved it and he is a hard one to please with new recipes.

    Thank you Giada for this new menu item. I will be making it often.

    1/2 inch slices? The sandwich ends up being 6 inches tall. Difficult to eat. Halfway through eating it, the sandwich becomes a mushy mess. Prepare to be smoked out of your kitchen as well.

    This sandwich was simply delicious. I had been trying to build up the courage to make something with eggplant for many, many years. This recipe will become a regular addition to my lunch repertoire. This sandwich is good even when served cold, but it is positively great served warm with the cheese all gooey. Thanks Giada.

    This is a delicious vegetarian dish. I've made it a few times, and it's always gobbled up by my boyfriend (who loves his meat. It goes great with a bowl of tomato soup.
