This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my broccolini turned out soggy. I think I overcooked it. Next time, I will cook it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice to give it a little more flavor.
