took some others advice and doubled the garlic + added mushrooms. Also put 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne in there to spice it up a bit... we just love spicy food. Depending on how spicy you want it I may recommend 1/4 teaspoon and build from there. Awesome love the fullness of it, the liquid soaks through to flavor the noodles and the solids give you a great topping for your spoon fulls.

This was very good. I used tomatoes from my garden that I had ripened off of the vine. We doubled the pepper and garlic, but otherwise followed the directions. After we cooked it, we added 2 tsps of Splenda to sweeten it. On top of whole grain spaghetti, it was a very tasty lunch. As soon as I have more ripened tomatoes I'm going to make it again.

This is a great, simple, fast recipe for a delicious pasta sauce. I used 2 red peppers and blended everything after cooking. Great taste and texture!

This was pretty good. I wasn't sure what kind and size of tomatoes to use and I think I may have used too much. It tasted rather "tomatoey". I added some extra spices and it turned out good.

I've made this sauce a few times and it always turns out great. After simmering, it has too many tomato pieces in it along with the other stuff, so i had to puree it in my blender. still, very yummy! thank you Diane!

I love this recipe! I've made it several times and couldn't seem to get the consistency of the original photo with just using tomatoes so each time I've made it I used 1 small can of salt free tomato sauce. Besides that small issue, everything else is PERFECT. I refuse to use bottled sauce from now on. This was super easy and tastes fantastic! I eat it over spaghetti squash.

This is a great recipe! I used canola oil instead of vegetable oil, double the garlic because I love it, a little extra tomato and fresh basil and oregano instead of dried. I also added about a cup of diced baby bella mushrooms and sauteed them with the onions and garlic. I blended the sauce in my food processor after cooking for a while which thickened it up. So yummy and highly recommended!

FANTASTIC! I strongly dislike tomatoes and onions, but needed to use up the ones I had received in my weekly co-op. I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted 1 tbsp fresh basil for the dried. I pureed the sauce after it had simmered for awhile and the result was truly the best pasta sauce I have ever had.

I like this recipe because it's healthy, easy to make, and pretty tasty. It was a tiny bit bitter but easily fixable.

Some of the best sauce I've had in awhile, and very simple to make. I sub'd 1 serrano pepper diced for 1 small green bell pepper diced which kicked up the heat a bit and made for quite a delicious meal. Spicy!
