Comments: Uber easy to make, this is one of the chief commentators favorites. This is a great one, if you have basil in the garden because you can make it less than 10 minutes. Super flavorful, and always a crowd pleaser. This is the #1 recipe I have made out of my cookbook and make it over and over. You can totally increase or decrease the quantity as needed.
