Tasty and healthy, but I thought it was somehow a little lacking in depth of flavor. Adding extra salt helped, but I kind of think I want to add mushrooms or a bit of mushroom bouillon to this recipe, and possibly some good cheese as well. I couldn't find fresh mixed herbs, so I added fresh sage and oregano, and I'm not really sure sage was the best choice. So I might make some modifications to this recipe, but I thought it was a very pretty and light dish.
