Grew up watching Marcela with my dad, and man she changed my home for the better. Thanks for still putting out recipes I’d turn to when I’m in a pinch! Very good and easily customizable to add more flavor if you wish, which makes this recipe all the more versatile. Thank you!

Great recipe. I doubled the sun dried tomatoes and added garlic, lemon juice and mixed in some grated parmesan for a little more flavor.
