A nice change of pace! I had to cook my broccoli longer. It was still too crunchy after the 4 minutes. I added the tomatoes too early so they got mushy. All in all, this is a great recipe. The Asiago cheese was an execellent addtion. I am taking the leftovers to work today for lunch which says it ALL! :o)
