This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this dish. I added extra vegetables instead, and it was still very delicious.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute the tomato sauce with a different type of sauce. I used a white sauce made with onions, garlic, and cream, and it turned out really well.

This recipe is a great base, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some extra vegetables, like spinach or kale, and I also like to use a different type of pasta, like penne or farfalle.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.
