Reader notes
Made this on a Tuesday and my whole family went quiet at the table. The highest compliment.
Really lovely. I added a pinch of chili flakes for heat and it worked beautifully.
The instructions were clear and the timing was accurate.
This tasted like something from a little neighborhood trattoria. Simple, cozy, and very repeatable.
I appreciated the exact visual cues. Mine came out right on the first try.
