    Incredible!
    This is AMAZING! It takes a lot of work. Next time I would buy a really good tomato sauce and just make the garlic sauce myself but it was worth the work! I ate this dish 4 days in a row. Great side dish but also makes a great vegetarian meal. - 7/4/11

    This recipe is missing 1 cup vegetable broth in the ingredient list. I only know because I just typed it in myself. Whew! That was a long recipe! Looking forward to tackling it tonight. - 1/3/10
