This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The cream sauce was very rich and the vegetables were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce and more al dente vegetables.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some fresh herbs. I also found the vegetables to be a bit undercooked.
