For a deeper flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Fresh thyme and basil are highly recommended for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if necessary. Use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 tablespoon of dried basil. A pinch of red pepper flakes can be added for a touch of heat. Serve with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, to complement the flavors of the dish.
