Garlicky Noodles with Chives & Parmesan

All I could taste was the oil on the pasta (or as my husband put it, "greasy string"). Normally I think he's picky, but I have to agree this time. I only got maybe three bites that tasted like garlic, and I couldn't taste chives or cheese at all. This is even after using about half as much oil as the recipe recommends. My toddler likes it, but he likes anything that's pasta. I wouldn't consider that an endorsement. I would not waste my time again. I'll stick to carbonara.

I cooked this because I needed a recipe that would let me use lots of chives. I added some mushrooms. It was okay but not enough for me to make again. It also came off a little too oily for my liking.

Very good, only mistake I made was cooking the garlic slices too long so many of them were too burnt to eat. Next time I might just leave them as whole cloves. I love garlic so I think that would be good
