“My sister inspired this recipe. I added a few more spices, but the concept is hers. It's easy to vary, is a great way to add veggies to your diet and the olive oil is heart healthy.”Jackie Termont - Richmond, Virginia

Very good. I made it for company and they were very impressed.

This recipe was pretty good! Good way to use some summer garden veggies. I added fresh basil from the garden at the end.

Wonderful side dish or a lite main dish. Angel hair pasta was great with it as well.

Reviewed on May. 18, 2011 by kbraymen

This is absolutely delicious! It can be tailored to the veggies that the family likes (we've used brussel sprouts and carrots too.) Can also add grilled chicken and make it a meal instead of side dish. Definitely a keeper!
