It was very good! I added mozzarella and tomatoe sauce, with no tomatoes, and it really enhanced the flavor.

As an Italian gal lucky enough to grow up with great Italian food, this is classic Italian cooking at it's simplest and best, and I'm so glad it's been submitted in recipe form so even those not familiar with it will give it a try. Simple preparation with fresh, in season tomatoes and basil, it's as good as a quick, satisfying meal as it is a pretty and flavorful side dish. No changes or additions are necessary, though unlike hubby I like freshly grated Parmesan on mine!

You have to love an easy 5-ingredient recipe that's tasty. Like the idea of adding other ingredients to change it up, so thanks to the other reviewers for those tips, too.

Will make again. I did what other reviewers did and sauteed the garlic with the olive oil, added a bit of hot pepper flakes and some slivered onions...I used 3 'tomatoes off the vine' and a bit more olive oil. I tossed this with some fresh paremesan and topped with fresh basil before serving. Next time I will add more hot pepper for heat, but since this was a dish for company, I didn't want them to think it was 'too hot'. EASY...I had all the staples on hand. :)

here's a tip i got from foodnetwork: marinate the tomatoes in the basil, garlic, and olive oil, along with balsamic vinegar and fresh mozzarella at room temperature for a couple hours. this really gives the tomatoes powerful flavor!

This recipe was quick and easy to make and turned out really well. I added black olives, chick peas, thyme and oregano. This pasta is more enjoyable for me when it is heated but it is good cold also.

I took this recipe and decided to make a few changes. I saute the garlic in 1/4 cup olive oil, add the chopped tomato and fresh chopped basil and dash of salt & pepper, cook for 5-10 more minutes and toss with 16 oz. of cooked bow tie pasta. Serve with toasted pine nuts and parmesan cheese YUM this is one of my favorite recipes to eat now!

I have used this as a base several times and it has always passed the taste test! I usually add 3-4 tomatoes and 3 cloves of garlic. Great with zucchini, spinach, onions, mushrooms, etc. A teaspoon of crushed red pepper tastes great too.

Mmmm...this was really good! I did follow a fellow reviewer's instructions by adding mozz, letting tomatoes soak in the oo/grlic mixture and sautee a cupful at a time. this dish is definitely better warmed. next time i will add shrimp!

This pasta was good, but definitely needed more tomatoes. I would agree with another reviewer and add 2 to 3 times more than the recipe calls for. I would also toss in some mozzarella for extra flavor.

I've been experimenting with this recipe and found it's also good with dried basil, and to cut down on fat, don't seed the tomatoes and leave out the olive oil. Not that the original is decadent. It's a great simple meal, but it all depends on how ripe and flavorful the tomatoes are

I thought this a mediocre recipe. I used 5 decent size tomatoes from the garden, added olives, 2x the garlic, lots of salt and pepper and parmesan cheese and it was still bland and boring.
