An excellent recipe for a fast and yet very delicious meal. I used 3 tbps of garlic since we love garlic and topped my pasta with bacon bits. Very yummy!!! Thanks for posting.

very basic, very easy. The key is using a good quality e.v.o.o. The addition of red pepper flakes makes this sing, and the possibility of variations using all those little herb clippings from the garden is endless. Thanks, Pat!

This is a great recipe. As I like more garlic, you may want to up what the recipe calls for. It would be great with two cans of diced anchovies sauted with the garlic and topped off with grated cheese.
