We enjoyed this recipe--it has such garden fresh taste. I did have to add 29 oz of tomatoes to get enough juice to satisfy my family. Otherwise, you don't really have a sauce and my picky family wouldn't hear of it. Next time, I will pick up some tomato sauce or used some leftover marinara sauce. Otherwise, a nice dish.
