This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the orecchiette pasta was cooked perfectly and the turnips and shiitake mushrooms were tender and flavorful.

I would definitely make this dish again. It was easy to make and it was a big hit with my family. The only thing I would change is that I would use a different type of cheese. I used Parmesan cheese, but I think a sharp cheddar cheese would be better

Overall, this was a good recipe. The flavors were well-balanced and the dish was easy to make. However, I would suggest using a different type of pasta. I found that the orecchiette pasta was a bit too thick and heavy for this dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The turnips were hard as rocks and the sauce was way too salty. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The turnips were a bit too crunchy and the sauce was a bit too runny. I think I might have overcooked the turnips or maybe I didn't reduce the sauce enough.
