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.

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!

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!
