Yummy! That sounds so good! I was not able to grow basil this year.
Just think how nice it would have been if you grew the zucchini too!
i just posted on the Tapestries of the Heart blog on how to make your own Mozzarella cheese in case you are interested!
okay, that’s enough. can yyou please tell me what evoo is?!
Extra Virgen Olive Oil!!!
It’s Rachael Ray’s abbreviation!
This sounds wonderful!!
I can’t wait to try it. 
Found you through The Grocery Cart Challenge. What a great recipe – delicious and simple!
Is that teaspoons or tablespoons of the EVOO?

A capital “T” is tablespoon. Small “t” is teaspoon.
Hope that helps!
