For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh. Fresh basil adds a wonderful aroma and taste – try adding a handful of chopped basil along with the parsley. Consider adding a protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal. To make it vegetarian, consider adding some sauteed spinach or zucchini.
