Made this recipe almost as directed, using 4 large cloves of garlic, half parmesan & half romano, the pine nuts, & then lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Also took the tip & froze most of it in icecube form! Among other things, we already like using some of it as an added thin layer topping on a frozen pizza! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
