  1. This was good, really good! No, I mean it, I'm not joking, we really really love this one! Noodles, cheese, tomatoes, basil, heaven! I knew the kids wouldn't go for it with Swiss cheese, and tasty cheese means mozzerella for me, so I used a combination of some Dutch Emmental and lots and lots of fresh, juicy mozzerella. The yellow Dutch stuff was just to help hold the noodles together, it was the mozzie that really had a starring role here. Mozzie cheese, tomatoes and basil, one of my favorite combinations, and wonderful in this dish! I used fresh basil from my garden, and added some za'atar seasoning (hyssop). I am going to make this again and again! Dale, you are the boss tonight!

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
