"This is out of my "Whole foods market cookbook" For extra flavor and protein, try adding grilled or sauteed shrimp or bite-size pieces of grilled or sauteed chicken breast, tofu, or small chunks of smoked mozzarella to the final pasta toss. Based on 2Bleu's review I have made a few changes."

Well I really have to disagree with the first reviewer!!! To me, they made a major change by using/adding minced garlic rather than the whole clove, which I am sure the garlic totally overwhelmed the dish. I made this, after reading their review. I actually followed the recipe, but for 1/4 of the recipe. I could hardly taste the garlic, I could smell it more so then taste it. When I put 1/4 of the recipe for the parmesan cheese, it was almost not there at all, so I tripled the original amount(3 tbsp rather then one for 1/4 of the recipe). I really enjoyed it with recipe#455471 for a wonderful lunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

I must say that I really loved this also, using the whole cloves, and found nothing overpowering. It made for a delicious and comfortable dinner and a movie last evening. I added some shaved Romano strips to the top of the finished dish just because I had it, lol. 5 fingers up from the two of us.

Sorry but this one did not make it. It was overkill on everything. The garlic, the cheese, and the parsley. You could reduce those ingredients by half and it would still be too much (and they are all favorites of ours). The only change I made was mincing the garlic (I made a mistake and presumed). But even left whole, they would be too much.
