I love this! The cooking process mellows the garlic. And this is so inexpensive to make. Delicious!

NOT KIDDING...I ate this for dinner BOTH times I went into labor with each of my kids. We've re-named it "Labor Pasta." We added toasted pine nuts and diced sun-dried tomatoes. Yummy!

its alcohol when you add it to the food but it cooks off so you are just left with the flavor of the white wine. if you have ever tasted cooking wine it tastes NOTHING like the wine you drink.

I made this tonight. It is very good and my husband liked it. I made him some meatballs from our local Italian market to go along side of it since he likes to have meat with his supper. I served a garden salad too. I like to try new things and he said Very good job, honey. I have left overs now for my lunch tomorrow.

My husband is on a low-carb, no-sugar diet, and cannot have tomatoes (for their natural sugars) or pasta. I, on the other hand, grew up with a mother who used to live in little Italy and a father who learned to cook Italian by a little Sicilian grandmother. Needless to say, I LOVE pasta. I've discovered a low-carb pasta (Dreamfields: 5g digestible carbs per serving!) and have used this recipe with it. Tastes great! In place of garlic bread I make parmesan crisps, too.

This is a delicious dish. I wanted try a pasta dish without tomato sauce. I have a couple of comments. I learned on another MSL recipe to save a little of the pasta water to add if pasta is a little dry, this helped when adding the pasta to the skillet, also chopped garlic never became translucent but tasted great anyway!!!!
