- Suggestions: Consider pre-boiling the pasta separately before finishing in the sauce to improve texture and prevent gumminess.
- Portions: Some found there was too much sauce for the amount of pasta; consider reducing sauce or increasing pasta quantity.
- Texture: Several noted the fresh penne was thick and doughy; cooking it longer or using dried pasta might yield better results.
