Thanks for sharing your recipe Boomie, it was quick and very easy to make. I really enjoyed the subtle flavors but my dh not so much. He felt that it could use more salt, garlic and lemon. It made a lovely meal served with pan fried steak, onions and tomatoes. Made for Aussie Swap 60.Reply

This was an okay recipe until I added garlic butter to it just to add a bit more flavor. It was much better after this addition ;) I chopped the basil up in my food processor just because I prefer it that way.Reply
