I’ve made this several times and love it. Kids don’t even realize they are eating a veggie. I use italian seasoning in the place of the basil. Gives it a bit more taste.
Extremely tasty, enjoyed it a lot. It was easy to cook even for total beginners.
Just a tip though: don’t overdo the cheeses!
I just finished eating this. It was really easy and really good!
Doubled the recipe and made my own breadcrumbs from scratch, which was extra yummy. I also cut the tomato sauce with olive oil and used it VERY sparingly as I really hate red sauce. However, for my taste, it turned out WONDERFULLY. One thing — I have no clue how 1/8 tsp of basil is supposed to properly cover the entire top of the dish, so I just put some fresh-picked parsley and basil leaves on each plate as I served it and we ate it that way (plus it looked cool). Family all loved it, and the husband (apparently) took the leftovers to work today. Well done! Don’t be afraid to play with the proportions to your liking.
