This was very simple and quick to put together. Step #4 stated to serve with lots of mozerella cheese, but didn't say how, so I sliced it and served it on the side. That was pretty cool. :) It melted slightly onto the pasta, but was edible as a unique accompaniment to the dish. Very nice.

Good recipe. I used regular spaghetti since I had it. I didn't use all 3 cups of mozzarella and didn't miss it. For a main dish, I sautee'd diced chicken breast in the oil before adding the garlic. The left overs were good the next day.
