This delicious thing is not that pretty, but you can shoosh it up if you choose to. Think red tomatoes, think green basil and plenty of finely grated fluffy white parmesan and it doesn’t look so bad after all!
It is perfect for lunch the day after, so make enough to have leftovers! Originally in Portable Lunches, you can now add this to your Menu Builder! Yummers.
