  Quick & easy but a bit too creamy so next time will use for low fat creme fraiche instead... Also added a splash of white wine for more flavour.... Better served with rice or pasta

  Yum. I used tin chopped tomatoes with basil in as found cherry tomatoes expensive. I also used chicken legs instead with the addition of green peppers. It was really yummy and easy to cook. Served with garlic bread.

  Easy to make. Tastes a wee bit like tomato soup though! Added some chilli's for a bit of a spicy kick. Sprinkled some parmesan over it as well.

  I wanted something full of flavour and simple as I had freinds to dinner at the weekend. This went down a storm - lots of compliments about how tasty it was. I added extra tomato puree as I could only get tinned plum tomatoes from my local shop. The fresh basil really added that home-made flavour to the dish. Scrummy!!!
