This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were overcooked and the spaghetti was mushy. The sauce was also very bland. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the spaghetti was al dente, but the sauce was lacking in flavor. I will definitely be making this again, but I will add more spices and herbs next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the spaghetti was al dente. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less chili flakes n
