Yummy and extra easy. I used red onion, and baby portabella mushrooms. I used the leftovers in a omelet the next morning. Mmm!

The ease of this recipe makes it worth the try. The basil was added along with the tomatoes and everything was topped off with salt and freshly ground black pepper at serving with an additional sprinkling of Parmesan.

Wow, this was so easy and so good. I omitted onion, and used dried basil (1 tsp.). It was colorful and made a nice presentation on the plate.
