This was absolutely delicious. DH loved it too. Really good. I served it
with homemade garlic toast (ran out of breadsticks). I did lighten up on
the chile flakes a touch for DH, otherwise I made the recipe the way it
said in the book. I also baked the tomatoes for 2 minutes more, thought
I would get a touch more color on them.
