Overall, this was a good dish, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would use a lighter sauce, cook the vegetables a bit longer, and add some more seasoning to the sausage.

The vegetables in this dish were a bit undercooked for my liking. I would have preferred them to be a bit more tender. However, the sausage was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.

I wasn't a fan of the Gorgonzola cream sauce. It was too strong and overpowering for my taste. I think I would have preferred a simpler sauce, such as a garlic and olive oil sauce.
