In order to not overprocess the basil, I dropped the garlic into the hopper of the processor while running and then added the basil and pulsed it about 4 times. While doing that, I added just a small drizzle of olive oil. I also sliced the tomatoes rather thick instead of quartering them. I felt it made for a more even looking top on the pie. All in all, a very good recipe. This is the type of dish that I like for lunch. Thanks, JG.
