Very easily prepared, comfort food, filling, and goes a long way, excellent for feeding a hungry family quickly! I didn't have any grape tomatoes for garnish, although they would have been nice. Good dash of parmesan and an enthusiastic grind of black pepper finished this off nicely. Thank you, gailanng, enjoyed this, made for I Recommend recipe tag game.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
