The recipe was easy to make a little stressful with having a pot and a pan on the stove simultaneously but manageable for a beginner like me, who has almost no prior cooking experience, i added broccoli before serving it and a bit of lack pepper whule cooking cause i like the taste it gives, would be something id make regularly if the parmessan cheese was more affordable (i used parmesano reggiano) took me a little less than an hour to make (my mom heled make the broccoli so all i had to do was add it and thus i'm not adding the broccoli prep time to the total time sepnt on the recipe)
