I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but it was a bit disappointing. The sauce was too acidic for my taste.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The sauce is so versatile and can be used with a variety of pastas. I also like to add some cooked vegetables to the sauce, such as spinach or mushrooms.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it was much better.
