Nothing beats fresh garlic! My only comment would be that I recommend to chop the garlic, rather than "mince" it ("mince" is finer, "chop" is bigger).
Garlic has the tendency to turn brown and bitter very quickly. (That's because of its unusually low water content. And because you usually mince or thinly slice the cloves, those tiny bits are even more vulnerable to direct, dry heat.) So chop the garlic and watch it not to burn!
While I feel the fresh mint is a must in this dish, I feel the cream makes this dish
a very unhealthy one. One of the reasons to avoid using cream is the high levels of cholesterol it contains, making this dish very high in calories.
For that reason I substituted the cream for One can of Coconut milk (Chaokoh brand is the best I think). If you never cooked with Coconut milk before, it is rich and thick and more like cream than milk, and does not at all leaves an over powering coconut flavor. While coconut milk has high saturated fat levels, the unique fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides) in coconut milk may aid weight loss, improve immune function, reduce heart disease risk and improve skin health. Coconut milk is highly nutritious when ingested, it is vegan and it is lactose free so it can be used as a milk substitute by those with lactose intolerance. It is a better healthier choice than cream which had wonderful result in this recipe. (Another vegan alternative to cream for all your soups, sauces, and sides is ChefSteps' Genius Roasted Onion Cream recipe on the Genius section on this site).
In my fridge I already had Pecorino Romano cheese, which is most often used on pasta dishes, so I decided to use it for this recipe. It has a distinctive aromatic, pleasantly sharp flavour which made a very flavoured sauces. One thing to mention is that Pecorino Romano has a very salty flavour so I didn't put 1/2
cup but rather added a bit at a time making sure to taste until it was perfect.
And perfect it was.
