I am a big fan of garlic as well. There is a festival that some little town in the US has every year and I want to go to that one day. I saw it on the show Food Paradise one time. It looked really cool. I also find it interesting that there is no oregano in the sauce. That seems a bit odd to me. Presentation-wise it looks really great!
I think I've heard of that garlic festival! There would be zero vampires within hundreds of miles of that. Lol. I definitely missed the oregano too. I think this was probably such a hit in the 30's because it was more on the bland side. It allowed Americans to "work their way up" to more flavorful versions. It really does work extremely well with the pasta/butter/parm though. I'm glad I fought the urge to "spice it up" the first time I made it. Thank you!
