Very good and easy meal to prepare. Followed recipe except when i went to dice the red pepper i found it not to be fresh so i had to sub with sun dried tomatoes which i am sure altered the taste but i know did not break the recipe. Definitly wait to salt the dish as i think it has such good flavor and with the addition of the lemon you wont need the salt. Served this over a toasted piece of garlic bread...delicious.

I am a former retail management slave who is now a stay at home mom who absolutely loves her job. I have an eight year old, a two year old and a nine month old who all bring their own kind of joy to my life. My favorite thing in the world is to cook. We have a real, from scratch family dinner almost every night. Please don't be offended if I somewhat change a recipe in my review. I look at recipes sort of as guidelines, and alter them according to inspiration. I've received alot of helpful advice from reviews, that's why I share what I've done differently. With my little ones I'm pretty busy, but I LOVE this site and plan on being even more active as they get older.
