Excellent flavors! I will definitely be making these again. I actually used canned tomatoes, white wine and I used cinnamon sugar, since I usually add a pinch of sugar to tomatoes. I cooked the liquid out and served over couscous. I love it! Thanks for posting. Made for Herb/Spice of the Month.

Mmm mmm. After it'd finished cooking i just put some couscous in the pan, put the lid on & let the juices soak in. It was unattractive, but easy & tasty. Served as a side. I've made it before & I'll make it again. :)

This was lovely! Made a great pasta dinner and something my family really enjoyed. A great menu option for my fresh summer tomatoes and I love mushrooms, so what could be nicer! Added a little more garlic, other than that made as directed. ZWT3
