This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional spices to the sauce.

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

I made this dish with whole wheat penne and it was still very good. I also added some chopped spinach to the sauce for an extra boost of nutrients.
