This recipe was a complete disaster. The pasta was overcooked, the sauce was bland, and the cheese was rubbery. I will not be making this recipe again.

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

This dish is a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a lighter pasta recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It worked out great!
