Very good recipe. The sauce is perfect for the tilapia. For the cheese, I replaced half of the mozzarella with shredded Monterey Jack. It added a nice flavor component.

Great recipe! I made it per the directions the first time, and it was a big hit with my family. The next time I made it, I thinned the sauce out just a bit, used shrimp instead and served it over thin noodles. That was awesome as well. This one will be a permanant in my book!

This recipe was very simple and because I am on the weightwatchers program it was really simple to stay on the pointsplus schedule. It was delicious.

Liked this very much! I didn't have any tarragon so I substituted oregano. The sauce was great and I stirred it in with the rice, as well. Like the idea of using Monterey Jack, I'll try that next time!
