[email protected]This dish was a disappointment. The peas were overcooked and the ricotta was grainy. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]This orecchiette dish was a hit! The combination of sweet peas, creamy ricotta, and fresh mint was perfect. I added a little extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a bit of spice. Will definitely be making this again.
