This was a great easy dish! I easily doubled the tomatoes (maybe mine were small??) and halved the garlic and olive oil. I also did not feel the need to add any salt or pepper. I sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese on the top and viola! Next time I may add a little chicken or Italian sausage but it is great all by itself!

This was just 'ok' for me. Followed the directions exactly. It needed something, I am just not sure what.

I followed the recipe exactly and found the recipe to be overwhelmed by olive oil and pasta, so I added a few things: extra garlic, one extra tomato, a half bunch of sauteed asparagus, and some balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. This made it much better and more satisfying as a main dish. Next time I will make these same changes, but also reducing the olive oil to perhaps 3/4 cup and adding some raw red bell pepper.

I must have Italian in my blood; there's nothing better than the taste of pasta with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil. I used 4 roma tomatoes and made some lean turkey meatballs for some protein and topped with some shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Add a glass of red wine, along with some good company, and all is good!

I use this along with a "grilled marinated shrimp" recipe (also on this site). The two recipes compliment each other well. I add additional ingredients if I have them on hand, but just as written is great.

this was simply not good. My husband thought it had no flavor and only ate it cause he was hungry. I ended up putting terriyaki sauce on it and nuking it the next day
