Loved this recipe!! Made it for my boyfriend and I and was surprised at how easy it was to make. Definitely going to make it again, and soon! :)

Needed a little pepper and instead of cherry tomatoes, as I didn't have them on hand, I used La San Marzano diced tomatoes and their juices and no broth. Loved it and very easy recipe to follow.

Very good, easy to make but the prep time was a bit off, it says 10 mins but you have a variety of things to mince and cut up. Give yourself more time or do some prep earlier on in the day.

So yummy!! This even satisfied my picky family. This is a definite keeper!!! Next time, I will add the tomatoes just before serving, or reserve some for the end, as i prefer them crunchier. But regardless, this is so tasty!

Quick and easy to make, I used shrimp instead of pork to make my favorite dish.
