Yummy! We made this for dinner and loved it. I added extra garlic though. Very good and will definately make it again.
Lee, I'm glad you liked the recipe. Adding extra garlic sounds like something I would do to. Use more or less of a spice than what is called for based on my attitude towards the spice. Garlic is something I do like. I might try adding some extra garlic to the recipe next time I make it too.
Tried this tonight and it was great! Made a few changes due to ingredients availble - fresh cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup of water,& 1/4 cup of wine instead of diced tomatoes, fresh oregano and dried basil.
I love it when people take a recipe, use what they have on hand, and make it their own.
I like the idea of using fresh tomatoes. I can't wait for them to come in season. I am not the biggest tomato fan but fresh over canned taste much better.
