This was, simply put, divine. I was a little bit hesitant to try this because my husband and I are not fond of tomatoes, but I thought there might be enough other flavors in the dish to balance it out. I am SO glad I took the plunge! We halved the recipe (just the two of us) with no difficulty. We added plenty of extra Parmesan for garnish, but aside from that, this needed no tweaking at all. We served it with one of those grocery baguettes that you can buy pre-made but bake at home - it could not have been any better on a cold, rainy night! Thanks so much - I can't wait to have company over because I know they'll love it just as much as we did!

It is such a busy, fast paced job that there are times I come home drained. I have learned to make fast easy meals from Recipezaar and save the more complicated ones for my days off. My husband is in the Army and was away for a year and now is stationed so far that he comes home on Friday nights and goes back Monday mornings. So I always like to have some nice meals waiting for him. <br />I always say it is like we are dating again. Since we only see eachother on weekends I try to impress him with a nice homecooked meal when he gets home. He usually eats at the mess hall. Other nights we will go out to dinner and a movie. I have one son who has been my Rock of Gibraltar through this. so some of meals are geared towards his tastes. He works and goes to college so I try to sneak a special meal in for him when he is home. Which isn't too often. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing some of mine.</p>
