Not bad, but not great either. The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, so I added a bit of milk to thin it out. Overall, this is a delicious and easy-to-make dish.
