  1. Super sauce. Try the sauce on fish.
     
  2. Very good. I made a half recipe and used 1 tbsp fresh basil and 1 tsp dried basil because I didn't have enough left. I also used white onion instead of shallots.A sprinkle of feta on top brings out the flavors! Thanks!
     
  3. What a fabulous dish! This one is worth many more than 5 stars. It is quick and easy as well as full of flavor ... and quite healthy, toboot. My only regret is that I only tried it at the end of the summer when the garden is about done. I don't think it would be as good with dried basil, but maybe.
