The basil was a bit overpowering for my taste. I think I'll use less of it next time.

Followed the recipe exactly, but my noodles ended up being a bit too oily. Maybe I'll try reducing the amount of oil next time.

Not sure I got the measurements quite right, because my dish ended up being a bit too salty. Otherwise, it was tasty.
