I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very good without them.

This was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I had some roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts that I added to the dish, and it turned out great!

The sauce was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.

I wasn't sure how the whole grain penne would turn out, but it was actually really good! It held its shape well and had a nice nutty flavor.
