This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was overcooked and the ricotta salata was too hard. I don't recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The peas were a bit too sweet for my taste and the ricotta salata was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The ricotta salata and lemon zest balanced out the sweetness of the peas perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pasta dish was a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The peas added a pop of sweetness, the ricotta salata provided a salty tang, and the lemon zest brightened up the dish. I especially loved the crispy texture of the ricotta salata.
