Used different ingredients. Oh so yummy! We like heat, so I added more than a pinch of crushed chillies and used red wine instead of the white. Perfect Friday nite dinner. Serve with some nice crusty bread to mop up the wonderful sauce. Thanks Donna! - 08 Oct 2008
Used different ingredients. This dish was absolutely fabulous! I did alter the recipe somewhat to include scallops and prawns as well, and added one minced shallot to the garlic and olive oil. I will definitely make this one again! - 08 Oct 2008
