I first heard of this watching "Barefoot Contessa" and I thought '40 cloves of Garlic, I know I love garlic but that is insane.' I was wrong. This recipe taste like it took all day to make. It is truly fabulous. I've tweaked it to my own style. One thing thought, is that the prep work is a little tedious. I'd say, do that the night before and refrigerate.
