This recipe was a lifesaver! I had some leftover tomatoes and basil, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much tomato juice.

This pasta dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sauce made with roasted tomatoes.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
