We definitely didn't find this recipe too dry. I used fresh basil and instead of sliced zucchini, I had 1 cup of grated, leftover from a bread recipe this morning. That could have added a bit of moisture, but it wasn't sloppy with it by any means. I loved the fresh basil and the green onion flavors but felt the dish was missing a little something. I added salt and pepper just before serving & that helped quite a bit. I think this would be great with some crunch, like celery or green peppers maybe. Regardless, I was not disappointed in this recipe. ETA: My toddler even ate a full serving herself! Thanks for sharing it, evewitch! :) Made & enjoyed for BB Tag Game.
