Definitely use more garlic if you want a good sauce. Incredibly simple recipe. We enjoyed it. I cut the recipe in half to serve 3 people. Husband and I each ate one serving for dinner and he had lunch the next day.

This recipe was so delicious. I used two cloves of garlic instead of just one. My husband who never makes comments on my cooking actually commented on how good it was.
