My kind of dish: "Pasta with 3 Kinds of Garlic"

Can there EVER be too much garlic? LOL...

I bought one of those large tubs of pre-peeled garlic at Costco that Cathy Z suggested and my house smells like garlic after 4 days of cooking with a mountain of peeled garlic waiting to go. I'm eating a bowl of my homemade chicken noodle soup at my desk and I should rename it, Garlic soup with chicken and vegetables.

I like how this recipe layers the level of garlic throughout. Will have to try!

 
oh my. DH goes to the cabin this weekend, so I can roast all the garlic I want---he can't stand the

smell, imagine that! I may throw in some broccoli too. I have a similar dish with broccoli and red pepper flakes but with much less garlic. Does anyone remember Laurie Burrows Grad? She was an early morning cooking gal on Good Morning America, or one of those shows a llllllong time ago. I bought her book and it has the recipe in it for the broccoli pasta.

 
I just made this tonight and it was so-so. I've never been a Martha Stewart fan, and find her stuff

generally to be bland. The few savory things I've tried of hers have almost made it, but not quite. This was a perfect example. Lots of promise, but no delivery. I improved it a little with my tweaks, but it still didn't make it. It was one-dimensional, lacking a nice, rounded taste. And it wasn't even that garlicky.

A generous amount of crushed/chopped garlic, sauteed with some red pepper flakes in extra virgin olive oil, tossed with pasta and garnished with parsley has more taste and is a lot less work.
