For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil in addition to the fresh tomatoes.
If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor.
Serve with a side of fluffy white rice or quinoa and a steamed green vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus for a complete and healthy meal.
