Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

For some reason, I expected there to e some garlic in there, but not a
bit...

You'd think from the whole 'best done over 2 days' comment, but Kath knocked
it up in no time at all - started at around 5:30 - 6 p.m. and we were eating
it by about 8.

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention (and I mention it with a certain
sense of *utter* shame...) - because it was a bit last-minute this, we
couldn't find any suitable fresh hard cheese like parmesan, pecorino or
similar in time (did *not* fancy cheddar with this - yuk!) - She went to the
local stores - zilch - Kath bought <gasp> a tub of <choke> dried, powdered
'hard Italian cheeses' from Buitoni. ;-(

Now I call this kinda stuff 'freeze dried puke', but this tasted
surprisingly inoffensive even right out of the tub, by the time it was
cooked, it was even less bad - it didn't ruin the whole thing like I
expected it to, but I bet the dish would be to DIE for with good, fresh
parmesan or pecorino in there, rather than just 'damned bloody good' as it
was.


Cheers!
