I made this paired with the Italian Chicken Noodle Skillet (also on this site). It has a strong flavor, but we really enjoyed it. I doubled the amount of broccoli but kept the rest of the recipe at the amounts listed. Will make again as my husband loved it!

Made as a side dish with burgers and my husband and I enjoyed - will keep recipe on hand to make again. We used fresh basil instead of dried.
