I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted them with roasted red peppers. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out really watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices, or maybe some fresh herbs.
