    I actually heated up the tomato mixture since I was serving this as a main course. It worked well, the cheese melting to smooth lumps of deliciousness.

    Is it possible to make this with fresh mushrooms? It sounds great, but I have an aversion to canned mushrooms.

    I made this tonight. It was absolutely amazing. Don't skimp on the fresh basil or you will be sorry.
