This was a good base, but i had to make A LOT of modifications to this recipe. I added a lot more parmesan, basil, and salt, and the flavor was still very light. To offset this, i added oregano and just a tiny bit of ground nutmeg. When i finished, i had a cheap, easy, and vegetarian meal before me. I tried the recipe with garden rotini and liked it.

Very bland tasting...I added more garlic, basil, and whatnots, but it still was quite bland. Maybe next time I'll try adding more cheese...Thanks for the recipe!

This was awesome paired with Potato Gnocchi. I added some crumbled up spicy Italian sausage and increased the garlic to 3 cloves to give it a bit more garlic flavor.
