This dish was a disappointment. The mushrooms were rubbery and the cheese was not melted at all. The penne pasta was also overcooked. Overall, this was a terrible dish that I would not recommend to anyone.

This dish was okay. The mushrooms were a bit bland and the cheese was not melted evenly. The penne pasta was cooked perfectly, though. Overall, this was an average dish that I would not make again.
