This recipe is a waste of time. The sauce was watery and the pasta was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta turned out mushy. I think it would be better to cook the pasta separately.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I added some vegetables and sausage to the sauce and it was a delicious and easy meal.

I've made this one-pot pasta several times now and it's always a hit. The pasta is cooked perfectly and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. I especially love the Mexican version with the addition of corn and black beans.
