I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The broccoli rabe was overcooked and the Tuscan crumbs were burnt.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The broccoli rabe was a bit tough and the Tuscan crumbs were a bit bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.
