This was great on rice. I made a few changes like adding butter, italian dressing, oregano and parsley just for added flavour. Tasted great. The only thing is that this made enough for the four of us, but if there's 6 people you may want to increase the amount you make. Apart from that great recipe :)

This was an excellent dish. My family loves garlic so I used about 6 cloves of minced garlic and added parsley and oregano along with the basil. I tossed with penne pasta and sprinkled Asiago cheese on top.

Very good and easy to make. I used precooked chicken,only one can of diced tomatoes and a can of French style string beans. Served it over rice. My husband loved it and took the leftovers to lunch. I'll make this again.

My family thought this was very good. I used the exact recipe and then added cooked linguini to the pot and then served with parmesan and garlic bread! Delicious!!

Made this recipe last night. I thought it might be too simple to be REALLY good. It was delicious!! My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.

We followed the recipe almost to the letter, just added slightly more fresh basil (our garden is filled with it). It is a very appealing dish and a surprisingly good combination - well beyond my expectations. It's also one of those recipes that is excellent if you are trying to behave yourself and eat healthy; good for almost anybody's diet. I think you could add more garlic and/or more basil and make it even better. We used Italian style green beans (because I prefer the taste) but I'm sure any green beans work well with the recipe.

My garden is producing a nice crop of green beans, so I've been prowling for good bean recipes. This one was excellent, in that the beans add flavor and texture to the sauce, which tastes great over rice without being a visual serving a green beans (not again, mom!) on the plate. Next time I will try it with pasta. I don't know why I chose rice- maybe because we had enjoyed some lamb stew over rice, so I was in the rice mindset. If you are hesitant because of the tomato based sauce, don't be. It was really delicious and I used a jasmine rice.

This was delicious served over angel hair pasta, with a crusty baguette and a fresh green salad. Cheese and grapes followed for dessert. I will definitely make this again!
