This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but overall this dish was very good. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sausage was flavorful. I would make this again, but I would use a milder sausage next time.
