I enjoyed this, although the basil was a little overpowering. The taste was good so i think i just wouldnt use as much basil. I was the only one who ate this but if i were to make it for hubby or anyone else i think i would add sliced black olives and maybe only use the basil to garnish with.. thank you for sharing!
