Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, but some found it bland and suggested adding more pesto or herbs for a flavour boost.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it a perfect midweek meal that's simple to put together.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing pea quantity, adding more pesto, and including additional vegetables like broccoli for extra flavour and variety.
- Serrano ham: Crisp the ham carefully to avoid burning; some suggest less cooking time or omitting the honey drizzle.
- Texture: The crunchy Serrano ham adds a nice contrast, but several prefer creme fraiche over ricotta for a creamier sauce.
