Sprinkle garlic cloves with a dash of salt before mincing. This will prevent the garlic from sticking to the knife.

Oooh! What a dreamy dish....I can't wait to whip this up! I'm a wimp, and prefer my food to be on the sweeter side, so I won't be adding the crushed red pepper; then, it'll be just right!
