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!

Very easy and tasty!! I did have to use basil paste but it still came out great.

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.

Very good recipe! I tweaked it a little bit and added 2 cans of drained clams and black olives. This is a GREAT recipe especially if you are looking for something easy and tasty!

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

Easy, Basic, and De-Lish! Only change made was to use spaghetti - since that's what was on hand. Will throw this together again.

We just loved this! It was delicious and you can add in anything you want to complement your personal tastes. I added Fresh Parsley and fresh Mozzarella. I thought it was very tasty hot or cold! Thanks so much for the recipe!

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.

Wonderful! I do recommend using a few extra tomatoes but it is still good with the number called for.

I have made this recipe for many years. I add fresh mozzarella and fresh parsley. Sometimes when I feel like something a little more kicked up I add red pepper flakes.

I wish I could give this 4.5 stars. It was quick and easy. I added more tomatoes then called for. I ate it just as the recipe states then I added some balsamic vinegar. I liked it with the balsamic more. Thanks for a great summer recipe, this will be made in my house again.

Wow!!! Awesome!!! LOVED IT! I am hoping to make this one again VERY SOON! Also, I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of chopping tomatoes, and instead of fresh basil, I used one-eighth of a cup (2 tablespoons) of dried basil. Delicious! THANKS!

My family absolutely loved this dish!!! My 2 year old son is gluten intolerant and I made this dish with gluten-free Tinkyada pasta for our whole family. For once, I didn't have to cook 2 separate dinners which was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. The pasta was very tasty. I actually prepared Gingered Chicken Breast (also on the AllRecipes site) and cut that up and added it and grilled veggies to the pasta to make a complete meal. It was so good. I'll be making this again for sure!

I love the simplicity of this dish, plus it was really good. My mother-in-law, who doesn't like to try new foods, really liked this in spite of the fact that it wasn't cooked (which is one reason I like it).

It's always nice to be reminded that sometimes the best recipes are the simple ones. Such a great stand by, and so easy to adapt (add cheese, different style pasta, etc.).

I've been making this one for quite awhile with two ingredient additions--mozzarella & a dash of cayenne pepper. I keep the rest of the ingredients the same, but I do change the method! In a large bowl, I mix the olive oil with the minced garlic, salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper, and mash them altogether to infuse the OO with flavor. I soak the roma tomatoes (2-3x more than recipe calls for) in the OO mixture since the tomatoes hold more flavor than any other ingredient. I then add cubed mozzarella and the cooked bowtie pasta, mix it altogether, THEN scoop out 1-2cups at a time and saute it in a skillet over high heat until the mozzarella is bubbly and going brown, adding the basil at the end so it doesn't get brittle and overcooked. And I plate it. DELISH! Helped me woo my husband when we were dating; he still remembers this simple dish as one of his faves that I make. ;-) Thanks, CookinGirl!

Excellent. I happen to have (fresh from the farm) Roma tomatoes and basil so I had to make this. Of course I added extra tomatoes, basil and garlic and used less olive oil...also added parm cheese...what a treat.
