Very easy and quick to make. I used this as a pasta sauce with some good quality pasta and it made a very pleasant meal. It is a little bland but this will vary with the brand of parmesan you use so it is certanly not enough reason for me to knock off a star as I really enjoyed this anyway!

I'm a software engineer living in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm originally from the South (north Florida), so I was raised on good old Southern cooking. I started cooking when I was 7 and have always loved to experiment and put my own twist on the dishes I make.
While traveling and living in different places I've discovered a number of wonderful cuisines - Cuban, Thai, Greek, Indonesian, Indian, et al. I have a few dishes from each cuisine that I do really well.
I love to experiment with recipes. One of my favorite things to do is figure out how a dish I like is made. If I have something at a restaurant that I really like I'll experiment at home until I come up with a creditable equivalent.
