Garlic lovers this is for you. And the parsley is abundant in chlorophyll which may help with the garlic odor, so don`t skimp on it. ;)I Used Organic Brown rice pasta. I also used my Recipe #445304 which is an essential my home! Added some pasta water to the end mix for more sauce. Thanks for the yummy eats!

This was so great! We really enjoyed it. I used 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 white wine for the 3/4 cup wine and I cut the pepper flakes to 1/4 tsp. It just seemed like an awful lot of wine and pepper for us (my little girl is just 6 so we have to make small changes for her). Thanks Chef Kate! Made for 123 tag.

<p>I have always loved to cook. When I was little, I cooked with my Grandmother who had endless patience and extraordinary skill as a baker. And I cooked with my Mother, who had a set repertoire, but taught me many basics. Then I spent a summer with a French cousin who opened up a whole new world of cooking. And I grew up in New York City, which meant that I was surrounded by all varieties of wonderful food, from great bagels and white fish to all the wonders of Chinatown and Little Italy, from German to Spanish to Mexican to Puerto Rican to Cuban, not to mention Cuban-Chinese. And my parents loved good food, so I grew up eating things like roasted peppers, anchovies, cheeses, charcuterie, as well as burgers and the like. In my own cooking I try to use organics as much as possible; I never use canned soup or cake mix and, other than a cheese steak if I'm in Philly or pizza by the slice in New York, I don't eat fast food. So, while I think I eat and cook just about everything, I do have friends who think I'm picky--just because the only thing I've ever had from McDonald's is a diet Coke (and maybe a frie or two). I have collected literally hundreds of recipes, clipped from the Times or magazines, copied down from friends, cajoled out of restaurant chefs. Little by little, I am pulling out the ones I've made and loved and posting them here. Maybe someday, every drawer in my apartment won't crammed with recipes. (Of course, I'll always have those shelves crammed with cookbooks.) I'm still amazed and delighted by the friendliness and the incredible knowledge of the people here. 'Zaar has been a wonderful discovery for me.</p>
