This looks delish!
I'm excited to try this one with josh.. ;) yummmmmmy!!
I made this the other night and it was really good! I like things that don't feel heavy. I think I may try with sun dried tomatoes too. Also I think next time I will make it ahead of time and heat it up because I liked it even more the next day when all the juices were soaked into the pasta. Thanks!!
Andrea, glad you liked it. It doesn't feel heavy at all, I agree. Did you use basil or cilantro?
Cory said this was the best dish I've made in a year. Thanks! It was awesome.
Making this for dinner tonight!
Can I request a recipe? : ) I trust your taste, because I have loved everything that I have made from your website. I need a recipe for a good zucchini bread. I bought a couple huge zucchinis from a farmers market and want to make some bread.
Lonni, I don't have a good zucchini bread recipe! But, If you find one, let me know. I'm always wondering what to do w/ my garden zucchini.
