This was a great recipe, would get 5 stars from me, but the sauce was a little too acidic for my tastes. Next time I'll add less vinegar, or possibly leave it out all together. I left out the basil (was in a hurry and forgot to add), and baked the rolls for 35 minutes at 375 instead of microwaving. I'll definitely be making this recipe again - thanks!!
