I made this as a side dish to go with chicken. It was delicious! I minced the garlic for more flavor and also added some parmesan cheese.

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.

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.

I usually make mine with added red pepper flakes and some chicken granules. Quick meal.
