I made this today, and it was fantastic. I mentioned to you that I make a basil cream sauce, too, but I wanted to make yours without any of "my" personal influence and rate it and review it...and it was great. :) Similar enough to mine that others couldn't really tell, til I told them, but they all loved it, and that's the important part. :) It's a great recipe to try...and perfect to use up all that basil! hehehehe Thanks, sis! ;)

This was perfect! The only change I made was to use chicken instead of shrimp because my 18 year old won't eat shrimp! And I used fat free half n' half. There was plenty of cream sauce and I only used 1 1/2 cups of the half n' half. The flavor of the garlic, fresh tomtatoes and basil really comes through. I served it with grated parmesan cheese. This is a recipe I'll use often! I added my photo to the collection!

Hey 5thsista, made this last night, but with chicken just because I wasn't in the mood for shrimp. (next time) Made it just like stated. Was VERY good. Simple flavors, not complicated, and easy too. 5 forks! I submitted my version in the pics.
