I have this same recipe in a vegetarian cookbook. Made it to specs. the first time, was very good, but I thought something was missing. Next time I made it, added a little more cheese, more garlic, one can of mushrooms, and an extra tomato, which I layered in the middle. It was excellent. (rating is with my changes) be a 3-4 otherwise.
