I made this last night and it was awesome!! I followed the recipe almost to a "T" however, I added fresh chopped mushrooms and did not add the extra salt. I cannot wait for my tomotoes to ripen in the garden. This is going to be an awesome summer dish that I will make often! Thanks for the recipe!!

I was totally suprised at how good this recipe turned out... my family really enjoyed it. I will only add 1Tbls bouillion next time because I use bouillion paste and it was too much with 2 Tbls. The rosemary was perfect. I will make again next week... lots of tomatoes coming in from the garden.
