The kids love this one. Quick and easy, warm and cheesy, this one is also a hit with guests. Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

This simple dish has great flavor... largely due to the fresh tomatoes and prominent basil! I used 3 large tomatoes when I prepared the dish, but feel free to adjust to your liking.
