Comments

This is a fast, easy and delicious dish my father passed on to me. I serve it often to my family. I sometimes add leftover boneless chicken and/or broccoli florets to my dish. I precook the broccoli and add these ingredients about the same time I add in the basil and marjoram; they just need to be heated through. It makes a complete one pot meal. This recipe is also easily doubled or even quartered if you like it a bit wetter. Helene
