This turned out really watery for some reason. maybe my tomatoes were too ripe. Anyway, we didn't eat the leftovers. the flavor was good, but the consistency was not very pleasant.

My husband and I liked this a lot! I did tweak it - added a couple of cloves of garlic and a couple ounces of a good Parmesan and doubled up on the basil. Used Campari tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes - they are much tomato-ier and more like homegrown. Fresh mozzarella is a must. Will make again and again!
