I made this dish this evening. We substituted canned tomatoes for fresh (we cannot get good tomatoes until later in the season) and jarred garlic for the cloves. Also, my absentmindedness was responsible for leaving off the cheese that was sitting right on the prep table. The dish did not lack because of it, however.

We enjoyed this and I am looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow at lunch.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, batona! And do you know how many times I've forgotten to add the last bit of cheese to something? lol! Way too many.
