Yum, this was good. It has all the components I look for in a dinner type recipe: It is cheap to make, quick to put together, healthy, and taste pretty descent. The changes I made was using 1 Tblsp of olive oil to saute the garlic in. I misread it should be more. I also used, 2 15oz cans of petite diced tomatoes for the 2lbs of prepared tomatoes. That saved so much time and dishes! Since canned tomatoes have salt I didn't add any and I don't care for black pepper, so I didn't add any of that either. I don't have fresh basil, so I just added a pinch of dried. I find it to be really strong. The ingredients list doesn't mention it, but the recipe says to add 2 Tblsp of olive oil to the cooked drained noodles. I think it was neccessary for added flavor and so they didn't bunch up, but blend in with the sauce. The angel hair pasta was the perfect type. It made 4 generous servings. ty

I didn't think this was much to write home about at all. Rather bland if you ask me, but it is quick and easy. Wont make it again.

Fantastic recipe!! Absolutely love this one. We were blown away by just how good this tasted - and it's so light and summer-y! We only made one change - added about 100g of chicken breast for added protein (didn't want to use anymore chicken as it would overpower the tomato flavour).

This is a great quick dish. I make it all summer with tomatoes and basil from the garden. Sometimes I add zucchini or peppers if I have them on hand. My whole family loves this dish!

AMAZING!!! It tasted better than at the restaurant I oredered it from the week before. Perfect to make in the summer when the tomatoes are so sweet. I did not add the tomato paste because I felt the tomatoes were sweet enough to stand on their own. I'm so glad I didn't use it, however, in the winter I may because the tomatoes aren't as good. My entire family ate it up and the kids were begging for seconds, and thirds! I also added an extra clove of garlic because we love it. Very good, so fresh! This recipe is a keeper.

I just made this recipe for dinner and my family loved it. I added sauteed mushroom and hot sausage to the sauce. I used store bought vine tomatoes. Delicious!
