This dish was very good, but it was a lot of work. The sauce took a long time to make and the linguine was a bit tricky to cook. I will probably only make this dish for special occasions.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but my kids loved it. The sauce was very mild and the linguine was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again, but I will probably add more spices next time.

I'm a vegan, so I made this dish with tofu instead of beef. It was delicious! The sauce was flavorful and the tofu was firm and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with lentils instead of beef. It was still delicious! The sauce was flavorful and the lentils were hearty and filling. I will definitely be making this again.
