Great Dish! Though the we would have preferred it a little "saucier", it had a great flavor. I doubled the red pepper flakes, and used 1/2 Parmesan 1/2 Mozzarella. And I added a diced green bell pepper (I have too many, and have been putting them in everything lately). Thanks for sharing your recipe, it's a definite keeper! Made for My 3 Chefs Nov. 08.
