I loved it as well! I added a little more wine and about half a cup of tomato juice to make more sauce. I also mixed some chicken pieces to the sauce. It was very tasty! Thank you for the recipe!

Loved it! I stirred in some fresh spinach for more color but otherwise made as written. Served with roasted deli chicken and garlic bread for a quick, tasty dinner. Thanks for posting!

We really liked this pasta. I used fresh plum tomatoes and a little more black pepper because I love it! This was very flavorful.

This was a very easy and nice tasting pasta dish. The only change I made was to use a large red onion. I used the 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes. I couldn't taste the wine so it could probably be omitted and broth and lemon juice used instead. I think this was good vegetarian but would also be good with chicken breast strips or tuna. I can also imagine adding kalamata olives. I would suggest adding the feta to each serving as it melts and gets lost in the sauce. Made for Zaar Tag.
