I'm not a vegetarian, but this dish is so good that I don't even miss the meat. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

The lemon sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of cream to balance it out. It turned out perfect!

I used a different type of pasta (penne) and it worked just as well. This recipe is very versatile and can be easily adapted to your own preferences.

I added some grilled chicken to the dish and it was delicious! The chicken added a nice protein boost and made the dish even more satisfying.
