Mint AND garlic?

4/5

Sounds very odd, but Julia's recipes are always good - and often have too much garlic. 😝

The inclusion of mint in this soup reflects the Turkish influence on Albanian cuisine, as does the pasta reflect its Italian influence

Chef's notes

If, like me, you feel that 6 Cloves of garlic is a bit tame, do increase the amount to as much as you want. However, you must take into account that you may need to increase the amount of butter accordingly.
