This pasta dish is a bit too oily for my taste. Next time, I'll use less olive oil.

I'm allergic to pine nuts, so I used chopped almonds instead. The dish was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.

I'm not a huge fan of pine nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts instead. The dish still turned out great!

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had some kale and spinach that was about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The mixed greens are packed with nutrients, and the pine nuts add a nice crunch.

The combination of bitter greens and toasted pine nuts was a bit too strong for my taste. Next time, I'll use a milder green, like spinach.
