This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili flakes next time.

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

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler pasta dishes in the future.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pesto turned out really bitter. The dish was still edible, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The pesto was also a bit too oily. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I loved this dish! The pesto was so creamy and delicious, and it really masked the taste of the peas. I would definitely make this again.
