2. Add garlic and sauté an additional minute.

Notes

Found this recipe on the net -modified as follows:

  1. Used 1 1/2 cups of wine (made it more potent)
  2. Used Cheddar cheese as I couldn’t get any parmesan cheese.
  3. Ate it accompanied with white wine (had to finish the rest of the bottle)

Seems like this blog is becoming more of a cookbook these days :-). Will get back to my photoblogging soon. Have many stories, just need to get down and write them . . . .
