This recipe was just okay. The zucchini and squash blossoms were a bit bland and the sauce was too lemony.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish was a disaster. The zucchini and squash blossoms were mushy and the sauce was too oily.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to the sauce and it was much better.

This was a great recipe! I used yellow squash blossoms instead of zucchini blossoms and it was still delicious. The sauce was light and flavorful, and the squash blossoms were cooked perfectly.
