I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tortelloni turned out gummy. Any tips?

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

The tortelloni were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on the cooking time.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with a lighter sauce.

Not a fan of gorgonzola, but the rest of the dish sounds great. Might try it with a different sauce.
