I didn't have any pine nuts on hand, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They added a nice crunch to the dish.

I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, so I used fresh tomatoes instead. They worked just as well.

The chicken was a bit tough. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The sauce was a bit too watery for my taste. I think I would add less milk next time.

This pasta dish was a bit too complicated to make for a weeknight meal. There were a lot of steps involved and it took me over an hour to make. I think I would prefer a simpler recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The sauce was not very flavorful and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the chicken was a bit overcooked. I think I would prefer a lighter sauce next time.
