Finally got around to making these, Farfallina, thought they were great! I thought they might be a bit bland, but they were very tasty infact. I added some chopped up boconccini I wanted to use up as well, stirred through by hand at the last minute. A really handy dish, vegetarians had as a main, served as a side for meat lovers. You are feeding us tomorrow night too--we are having your ratatouille crumble with or without steak! Thanks for all your great vegetable dishes

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed them Lellyj!
I believe also bocconcini were a great addition, any kind of cheese would be for my palate
I hope you enjoy also tomorrow's dinner
