    This was a huge hit with my family. The nice thing is that you can serve it with many types of meat. Also, if you like balsamic vinegar, it is quite tasty with a few drops added to each portion. Don't cheat on the fresh basil, but you can use pre-grated parmesan and have great results. - 9/15/13
