Fine as is, sometimes I get the urge to fool with it, or happen to
have other goodies on hand. We haven't had it for a while either;
maybe tonight or tomorrow. My basil plant is still growing, though
the leaves are smaller than in the summer, so I'll pick a bunch of
them to chop and sprinkle in at the last moment. May also grind some
fennel seeds to add while it's cooking. Could add a small can of
tomato sauce--depending on how it looks. The variations are pretty
much endless......probably one of the reasons this is one of the most
popular dinners. Oh! I have some garlic butter in the freezer,
better pick up a baguette. -aem
