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.

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.
