I'm not a fan of asparagus, so I substituted broccoli instead. The dish was still delicious!

I was disappointed with this dish. The asparagus was tough and the peas were mushy.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I may have overcooked the pasta.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some asparagus and peas that were about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I followed the recipe to the letter and the results were stunning. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the sauce was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of tanginess from the lemon.
