My family & I love this recipe. So quick, so easy, so yummy, so healthy. I usually substitute lemon balm for the parsley, because that's what's growing in the garden. Even my foodie neighbors, much better cooks than I, raved about this beautiful prep.

I don't know what I did that was so different from everyone else but this was not something I'd try to make again. I made exactly as directed - and still ended up adding the Tony Chachares like another reviewer said. My husband thought it was OK, but I thought it lacked flavor - maybe I just expected more flavor given the recipe title and all the great reviews.

This was very tasty for those who love garlic. Very easy to prepare and even the leftovers were terrific. I served with rice and steamed snap peas in sesame oil.

This was really simple to put together. Need a little more spice of some sort for it to stand out but a decent recipe
