Definitely great! I tried it 'cause I was short on ideas for dinner one night. It works really well if you sub tomatoes for both the mushrooms and the pepper. And I also used oregano for the parsley. It's fantastic. It's one of those recipes that you don't hafta follow it too close. I'm making it right now. =^^=
