This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes next time.

I'm not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish still turned out great! The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of one-pot pasta dishes, but this one was surprisingly good. The pasta cooked evenly, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
