YUM ! We loved this! it all went together very well and dissapeared very quickly indeed. I got on-the-vine tomatoes and the flavour was great, so if you can get these or Heirlooms it will increase the flavour of the end result. I did use less olive oil because it seems ok ( and healthier) with less and 3 cloves of garlic becuase we adore the stuff. Please se my Rating System: 4 excellent stars for a recipe that's going in to be made again .. soon! Thanks! -
This was great! I BBQ'ed shrimp and served on top of the pasta at room temp. Just perfect with wine and french bread. Thanks!
