This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic or red pepper flakes.

I'm not a huge fan of collard greens, but this recipe changed my mind. The bitterness of the greens was perfectly balanced by the lemon and Parmesan cheese.

I was skeptical about the collard greens, but they were surprisingly delicious! They added a nice texture and a slightly bitter flavor that balanced out the richness of the spaghetti and cheese.
