I followed the recipe to a T, but my dish turned out way too watery. I think I might have added too much liquid. Other than that, the flavors were good.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a bit of heat. Otherwise, it was a decent dish.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this dish came out. I didn't have any zucchini on hand, so I used yellow squash instead. It worked just as well and the overall flavor was still amazing.
