I made this with whole wheat penne and folded in a few handfuls of fresh spinach to the cooked pasta. Very yummy! Next time though I will use black pepper instead of red pepper flakes.

This was really good. Just the garlic kick i needed. I chopped up and added some bacon and sauteed the garlic in the grease. I also added a little bit of minced onion and cayenne pepper.

This was good but needed much more cheese than the recipe calls for. Next time I will add meat and/or veggies because I did feel it was missing something. Great base recipe though!

Pretty good, it needed a bit more seasoning. I love garlic, but it still needed some seasonal.

I love this "simply" wonderful dish. It's so quick easy and I love to add different things to change it up to whatever I have on hand. I especially like to saute chopped red peppers, mushrooms, zucchini and top with a handful of chopped fresh tomatoes for a healthy vegetarian dish.

As a base recipe this is great but it's better when you add shrimp, red peppers and mushrooms.

I Loved this. I added broc & shrimp so yummy. Served with a tossed salad and big fat cookies from this site for dessert so delicious. This tasted like my favorite restaurant that closed. Thanks for the best recipe.

Awesome!! I've been searching for years for a recipe like this--it was a favorite dish of my husband's at a local (now closed) restaurant. I've been trying to re-create it with little success, until I found this recipe. This is fabulous! The only change I made was 1 extra clove of garlic (like it was noticed) and I used a little less red pepper than it called for. Fantastic!

Yum, very tasty. I scaled it for 1 and added sun-dried tomatoes. Accidently left out the parsley but I don't think it changed much. Very good!

A good dish to make when you're out of everything else! My cupboards were bare except for some dry staples. Using bottled minced garlic, dried parsley, and whole wheat pasta, I whipped this up in no time. If you don't like spicy, reduce the red pepper flakes in half. My personal preference would be for less romano and more garlic, too.

This recipe is so amazing! My mom and I are huge garlic fans, so we LOVE this dish. My dad isn't such a big fan of it when we put the full amount of garlic in it, though. Every time i make this, I leave out the crushed red pepper flakes because I think they might make the recipe too spicy. Also, if the 10 cloves of garlic is too much for you, try cutting it down to 7 cloves.

I made the recipe exactly as written. I am a huge garlic lover, and this is no more garlic than I add to most pasta dishes. However, it's waaaay too spicy because of the red pepper - it's not the garlic that's overpowering. If I take the pepper out, it's the same basic pasta dish I've been making forever.

Definitely death by garlic and what a great death it is!!!!! Of course you can't kiss anyone who isn't eating this dish too for at least two days afterwards but oh so worth it!! I did add more olive oil but that's a taste issue!

This recipe is for (real garlic lovers), and I am one!!!!. I used about 10 to 15 large cloves that I chopped really well using my chopper. While the garlic and extra virgin olive oil are cooking I add fresh green beans, cooking only maybe 4 min or so, then I add 1/2 pound of fresh med 21 to 30 count shrimp cook until shrimp turn pink, then I toss with my pasta and cheese I use a romano and parma blend. I top my plated dish with cheese and fresh ground pepper. I omit the crushed red pepper and parsley sometimes. This is a very very good pasta dish, but beware if you do not like garlic. 5 plus stars!!!!!!.

I was a bit leary to try this recipe without being able to find any sort of Italian sausage in the stores here. I went ahead, using 1/2 tsp of pre-crushed garlic from a container instead of each clove. It still turned out very well, and I added a bit more salt to the garlic mixture. I would make this again.

This pasta wasn't anything memorable. The only change we made was to throw in some spicy chicken sausage. This was suprisingly not as garlicky as expected.
