I loved this, as did all who tried it. A simple dish, but tasty because to the fresh herbs, tomatoes, and peas. I used 1-2 TBS fresh basil, and about 1 TBS of Thai basil, too. I didn't use quite as much milk and lite mayo as called for, but did add some before serving, as it was a little dry. Thanks, Jan
