This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili flakes next time.

I'm allergic to walnuts. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

Love the idea of using walnuts in a pasta dish. Can't wait to try this out!

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual pasta recipe.

Not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pine nuts instead. Turned out really well and the sauce was super tasty!

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less olive oil next time. Otherwise, the flavors were great.
