Very tasty. The tomatoes I used weren't packed in oil so I soaked them in hot water first. I also used red pesto. Unfortunately I couldn't find Romano cheese so I used Grana Padana instead. This dish is so quick and very good! However, the serving size seems a bit odd. I halved the recipe which was a perfect amount for 2.
