This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the corn and basil, and they didn't even notice the spinach.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some leftover corn from a barbecue and this was the perfect way to use it up.

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

This dish was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would have preferred a recipe that was a little quicker and easier to prepare.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my orecchiette pasta turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred less corn or a different type of vegetable.

I found this dish to be a bit too heavy. The sauce was too thick and the orecchiette pasta was too dense. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce and a different type of pasta.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more kick. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would probably make some changes to the recipe next time.
