I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out very well. The sauce was too thin and the pasta was overcooked. I'm going to try this recipe again, but I'll make some adjustments.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This recipe was a bit confusing to follow. The instructions weren't very clear and I ended up making a few mistakes. The end result was still good, but I would have liked it more if I had been able to follow the recipe more accurately.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this dish. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and they added a nice earthy flavor to the pasta.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the cheese was a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less cheese and cream next time.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.
