Made this for dinner for the kids and I tonight and every one voted 5 stars! DH did not have any as we recently found out he is gluten intolerant and we have yet to find a gluten free pasta we like. Anyway I did alter the recipe slightly...I skipped steps 1 and 2 and just used fresh raw Roma tomatoes in the recipe (skin, seeds and all). It worked absolutely fine! We will definitely have this often when we are in the mood for pasta. And it will definitely go in my Company's Coming file! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
