  1. This is delicious and quick! I took the advice on other reviews and doubled the garlic and did 3 tbsp canola oil. I also added a few sprinkles of crushed red pepper and tossed it with grated Romano cheese. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
     
  2. This was fantastic!! I took in account the other reviews and baked a few extra cloves of garlic. And it turned out brilliant, so delicious, and DH loved it! Will definitely be making it again :D
     
  3. Excellent recipe, as always, Barb! I've come to expect the best from Barb. I will definitly make this again adding either chicken or shrimp to make a full meal. Thanks, Barb!
     
  4. Delicious. I sauteed yellow squash ribbons instead of grated zucchini and also used cherry tomatoes and added pasta and roasted garlic. I used 1 garlic head. Jenny is right though. It can use more garlic flavor.
     
  5. I cut this recipe in half, and used a scanty amount of pasta and a generous amount of zucchini, just because of package sizes/how much pasta we tend to eat. This was quick and simpler to make than I expected. Next time, though I would double the garlic and oil seasoning; it crossed the line from subtle into bland, at least to our tastes. The roasted garlic and herbs was really lovely, there just needed to be more of it.
