When I opened the oven to sprinkle the basil, I smelled deliciousness. I have to admit I cheated a bit with this recipe which I Almost never do. But I used a store-bought crust because I had one, and I had some mushrooms left over that I had to you use up so I sliced and sautéed them and threw them on with the basil . It was terrific, but am now inspired to go back to making my own crust. And the mushroom addition didn’t hurt a bit!
