Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made it last night as the recipe states. It was very tasty, and easy. I find the older I get the more simpler recipes I need. The flavor was great, just perfect for sensitive tummy’s. But for those more adventurous, I assume a few red pepper flakes would not be over the top. I will be anxious to see what more recipes your expertise has to offer.

It was okay. A little bland for us. I added red pepper flakes. I made with broccoli in place of mushrooms since I don’t like mushrooms.

I have not added rice but I have added a little bit of cooked pasta. I think rice would also work very well.

I love this recipe! I had an abundance of Zucchini in the garden, so I made several of these in 8x8 baking dishes and froze them. They baked just perfectly 3 months later. Very satisfying dinner work warmed Sourdough bread
