I like to use extra garlic and lemon but even without the extras, this dish is great.

I've been making this recipe for years and years! One of my family's favorites! The only thing I do differently from the way the recipe is written is to add double the amount of garlic called for.

This recipe is wonderful! I didn't use the lemon juice because I didn't have any, but it still tasted great! My husband really loved it! Can't wait to make it again!
