    Not impressed at all with this one at all... If this was to be made again, I'd recommend cutting back on the olive oil to only 1 Tbsp, and mince the garlic instead of slicing it. Even if that's done, it's still bland.

    A little dry. I would use more heavy cream for the sauce. Nice flavor. Added more cheese since my family loves their cheese!

    If it turns out dry, try adding some of the pasta water to the mix when you put in the cooked pasta, this usually works for me! Yummy.

    If you want to amp up the flavor of this recipe, add 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp. lemon juice and 1 tsp. lemon zest.

    @Katherine, if you do decide to try this recipe again I suggest slicing the garlic paper thin. When the garlic is paper thin it will practically become liquefied in the oil. You will have a lovely garlic flavor without chunks of strong garlic.

    I made this, and it was OK. Nothing special, just garlic and some noodles! I was underimpressed

    @Bryce, I think you might like it better if you were to add some shallots or onions to the olive oil and increase the cheese.

    I add a pinch of chicken base or bullion, it relly helps the flavor and sometimes add fresh chives right at the end, yummy

    It was good - kids liked it. I used a little chicken broth and less olive oil, and for myself added some capers for some additional flavor. Fits the bill for a quick meal during the week.

    Pretty good. I used tricolor penne rigate and did the lemon juice addition, and both helped the flavor.

    It was ok. I had to tweak the recipe quite a bit to give it some flavor. I'm a garlic lover and had to reduce the garlic.
