This dish was a complete disaster. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was flavorless.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

I found the sauce to be a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover snap peas. I always have a few extra snap peas in my fridge and this is a great way to use them up.
