This is a relative simple dish with a nice presentation. It goes great with grilled asparagus spears and spinach salad with feta cheese. 'VIVE LE ITALIA!'

This sounds wonderful...and so easy! Great for the ever over running basil, this time of year. :) I'll probably serve this over orzo, as I'm a huge orzo fan. Thanks for the addition! :)
