  1. Think there's enough garlic in this dish? YES!! Deelish!!!
     
  2. There's something missing in this recipe. With all the seasonings and all that garlic, you would think it would have quite a bit of flavor. However, both hubby and I thought it was extremely bland. He tossed most of his in the garbage and that's very uncharacteristic. Won't be making this one again.
     
  3. A tasty quick and easy recipe, ideal for week nights when you arrive home tired, and when time is at a premium. I was aiming to increase the quantity to serve three or four as a single dish meal, so I increased the quantities of some ingredients and added a few additional ingredients. For once I was not tempted to increase the quantity of garlic (!), but I did add two leeks, thoroughly washed and chopped then sautéed with the garlic and the onion and the red pepper, which I cut in strips. I used two cans of tomatoes, thoroughly drained, (it was the quicker option), one packet of frozen spinach thawed and drained and I added one and a half cups of white wine instead of the broth in step two. I served this over angel hair pasta (3 cups), topped with parmesan. It served three (generous serves), and could easily have served four. Thank you, Jellyqueen, for a versatile and easy recipe!
     
  4. Very good. I sauted the onions and green peppers along with the garlic and 1/2 cup of vegetable broth - it helps to release the flavors. The tarragon adds a nice flavor to this dish. I used fresh plum tomatoes and topped this off with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Thank you for posting and joining the recipe swap!
