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!

This is delicious! It is wonderful with fresh summer tomatoes but also works well with plum tomatoes all year round. I made this for a summer cookout and got rave reviews. Be sure to cook tart shell well enough first so that it isn't soggy.
