Easy has become my favorite word since I gave birth to my second baby and this recipe delivers it with plenty of flavor. I got my tomatoes at the local farmers market and they were just perfect. I am sure this played a big rol in the out come of the recipe, so pick the best available tomatoes you can get! —Mi Budare
