It was so tasteless that I heated up some leftover Bolognese sauce to put over it so that it wouldn't be a complete waste - not that the ingredients were particularly expensive. I should have questioned the recipe when I saw that a 10" X15" pan would have a grand total of four cherry tomatoes. I had about five cherry tomatoes left over and then used most of two plum tomatoes just to fill up the space.

I've never eaten at any of her restaurants. Is her food boring?
If she's the same Lydia from the namesake restaurant in KC, I found it vastly overrated and boring, yes, but it's been a few years.
