This was so good! I changed the recipes a little bit to give it a more intence flavor. We love garlic so i added close to 6 cloves and increase all the spices by about 1/2 teaspoon. It pasted the ultimate test-- my meat and potatoes hubby took it for lunch the next day!!!

Very tasty and easy! I added rotisserie chicken, parmesan cheese, and parsley. I also used fresh herbs instead of dried. I'll make this again.

I made this as stated, although added fresh basil as a personal preference. There was entirely too much pasta! I would definitely only use a half pound. It also seems bland regardless of the various spices. Adding parmesan cheese adds just the right taste and is delicious!

I love the idea of this recipe, but would change a few things. It seemed like too much pasta for too few tomatoes and garlic. Next time, i will make only 1/2 a lb of pasta for the same amount of the other ingredients. I also added cubed Brie cheese, an idea I got from a favorite restaurant-this made it wonderful!

I make a very similar version of this recipe all the time. It is a staple in my house. I have added different veggies and meats to mix it up a bit. Even without additions it is delicious.

I also make this recipe a lot, but I didn't realize it had a name! I like to add some white wine, crushed red pepper flakes, and parm cheese to the sauce while it's cooking. (Also, I leave out the oregano, but that's because I don't like the flavor of it.) Oh yeah, and sometimes I'll add some fresh seafood to the mix....scallops, mussels, clams, shrimp...whatever looks cook at the deli!

To add more flavor, roast the tomatoes, add a few shakes of crushed red pepper, add a tablespoon of lightly crushed fennel seed, and definitely add parmesan cheese!

I made some slight changes, but this turned out beautifully! Used less Angel Hair. 2 Tbs Olive Oil, and sauteed some minced garlic, red onion and a full can of (Drained) diced tomatoes with garlic, oregano and basil. Spiced it up with some Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle (oregano / thyme & basil), S&P, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Tossed over the noodles and topped with a bit of Parmesan. Couldn't believe the tomato-hating husband was eating - AND LOVING - it! Adding this to rotation.

This was exactly what I was looking for. A very tasty, light pasta dish. I had to make one substitution- used one can of diced tomatoes (drained) instead of the fresh. Very Good Recipe!!! Will make again with the fresh Romas.

I made this recipe for 2 and we both really liked it, although I made several changes. I used half a pound of pasta (rigatoni), 2 diced roma tomatoes, half of a red onion, twice the amount of basil but same amount of garlic, olive oil & oregano, and then I added salt, black pepper, pine nuts, and shaved parmesan. We'll definitely make it again!!

This was prety good. I wish it had made a little more tomato mixture but now I know to double the recipe. It was really simple to make and great for all those tomatoes we grow in the summer!

This Recipe starts off ok, but is very bland. You need to increase the garlic and the tomatoes. Do not use the whole amount of pasta. If you follow the recipe, you will be sprinkling garlic salt or parmesan cheese on the finished meal.

This is a fantastic recipe if you are looking for a very basic pasta dish. I do make this often, but I have changed a few things. To start, it needs salt. Without salt, it would be nearly tasteless. Also, it does need more tomatoes, and a little more olive oil than called for. I add the extra oil during cooking so that the flavors have a chance to blend. I also let the mixture simmer longer than called for. I do add different vegetables, depending on what I have on hand. I have used different types of pasta, and have found that my husband and I both prefer angel hair above all others. I now use all ingredients to taste, after having experimented with the recipe quite a bit. In all, it is a good starting point...but it does need a bit of work.

This recipe was good however I found it really bland. I wish I would have read the other reviews first and used their advice when making it. I will definitely make it again this time adding white wine, double dipping the chicken, and also adding more garlic and paprkia to the flour mixture!

My family thought this was very bland. The recipe called for 4 plum tomatoes, I used 6. I also increased the garlic to 5 cloves. I used a large onion and kept the oregano and basil the same as called for. I didn't use the full pound of pasta as it would have been way too dry and not enough tomatoes in it.I sprinkled with extra olive oil before serving. I may try this again as it is an easy recipe, but I will increase all ingredients until I get the right combination and flavor that I think it should have. I really don't know why it had no taste with all of the onion, garlic, etc that is in it.

This was a really great pasta recipe. I did try adding the mushrooms and a few substitutions of may own. I even used bow tie pasta instead of angel hair pasta and this also worked fine. Thank you for such a great and tasty recipe. You must try this one!!!! Diane
