Wow this sounds amazing. Guess who just bought some Romano cheese? I saw it and said I haven't bought any Romano in a while, I'll have to find a recipe to use it in. Thanks for providing the recipe.

Malli says
Such a refreshing dish that although it reminds me of a heavy lasagna. Yet it is so simple and light that as you mentioned, it would make a guilt-free and hearty meal paired with a salad.
