I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water to the sauce.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I'm so glad I did! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the ricotta and the nuttiness of the pine nuts.
