Oh Katie, this was wonderful and indeed better than my own. To trim the calories a bit, I skipped the butter and sprinkled on some Butter Buds at the end. Used white balsamic vinegar (my new addiction) in lieu of red wine vinegar. I have now enjoyed this hot, at room temperature and as a cold salad. All of the variations were slightly different and just delicious. With the warm the tang of the vinegar is a little more pronounced. Cold the next day the sweet herbal flavor of the basil stands out a bit more. Thanks!
