I made this tonight as a side dish with chicken and baked potatoes. This was delicious, of course I added more garlic and fresh basil from my herb garden and decreased the fat content by using pam spray. I will definitely be adding this to my summer time favorites.

This looks great, I will probably substitute lower fat margarine and oil since I'm watching my intake.

Thanks
