Wow!! That was delicious but seriously HOT!!!! I'd cut the garlic to 2-3 cloves (of course, mine might have been larger than usual but 4 was way too much- even for garlic lovers) and the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp, like Jenncandi said. But, all in all, it was wonderful! - 7/23/12

I'm pretty sure there is a mistake with the 3 Tbsp. of red pepper flakes. I put in 1/2 tsp and it was pretty spicy. Also, parsley is not in the ingredient list, but it tells you to add it during the recipe. Luckily I had some in my fridge. - 4/26/12
