I made a few changes that led to the 5 star review. Doubled the olive oil (EVO), Tripled the garlic, instead of arugula or peas, added a bag of stirfry veggies and sliced grape tomatoes. Added 1/2 a cup of beef broth and 1/4 cup of white wine, plus red pepper flakes and some garlic powder. My husband and I loved it. Had a lot of taste.
