Very very nice, simple sophistication -I would certainly serve this to guests. I did however adapt it just for me. Sitting here wanting a little bit of an in between meal filler, I had one 7-8 inch zucchini. I used 1 good sized dried-tomato piece, sliced it and cut the slices in half and enough onion and garlic to suit my taste. A shake of parmesean and....delightful! I'd be inclined to take off half a star for the work involved in chopping enough for 4-6 people, but the recipe is perfect! -
This was very good! It was easy to make and went together fairly quickly. It is similar to one that I make using fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried. In my recipe, I use fresh basil, oregano, and fresh grated parmesan cheese. I think that next time I make this, I might add the spices and cheese for some extra flavor. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.
