I didn't have dried basil so I used rosemary instead and used cannellini beans rather than whatever great northern beans are. While it smelled good there is too much water in this recipe. Now I had soaked the beans first for anti-flatulence reasons so that may be why. The toddler opinion?She picked out all the olives and sundried tomato. -
not much flavor...I didnt even it eat in the end...Sorry! I think that it can definitely be spice up a lot, but I have to think about this one! The concept and flavor blend has SUCH potential! -
This was delicious. I made it the day before and the excess water soaked in before we ate it. Adding the sun-dried tomatoes and olives right before serving punched up the flavor, but the kids portions were tasty without. We also added some pesto. I will definitely make this again. -
This made a nice hearty vegetarian meal, but we just felt it was missing something, so I added some fresh basil, Parmesan and capers, which really took it to the next level. I used great northern beans, which I had no trouble finding here in Oz, and I added an additional cup of water half way through cooking. Yum! Thanks Tish!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
