I made this today for lunch, after we finished, my daughter said it would have been better with some fresh basil, so I have added that to the ingredients."

For us, sitting down to a meal is not just about eating to nourish our bodies, but food provides comfort, sustenance, and, most of all, love. The recipe that I finally decided to submit is one that I grew up eating, and throughout my childhood, was my favorite dish. I first tasted it in my great-grandmother's kitchen.
