  1. this is a fantastic recipe, I made this with my recipe#338498 and plan on making it again next time with fresh chopped ripe Roma tomatoes, I increased the chili flakes way up, I didn't have fresh basil handy when I made this so I used 1-1/2 teaspoons dried and sauteed with the garlic mixture, thanks for sharing Cooks!
     
  2. Delicious! Although I had far too much sauce for my pasta, what a shame! Guess I'll freeze it and save for another day :D
     
  3. Wonderful, a new favorite simple dish!
     
  4. I had to do this differently because of what I had. I did not have chicken broth or wine so subbed 2 cups of no salt added beef broth. I did not add the butter at the end because I wanted something light and fresh, and I got it! I know, I know. I hate when people change a recipe and review it, too, but this was so fantastic and I cannot wait to try it with the wine and chicken broth! I could've taken a little more heat and will remember that the next time I make it.
     
  5. Delicious! Much to my dismay, the store didn't have gnocchi so I substituted cheese tortellini which actually worked out well. I also cut down on the butter a bit since it seemed excessive. The sauce was already rich and creamy and flavorful so no need to add cream. The consistency was just wonderful. I think this would be great in any recipe calling for tomato sauce. Thanks for the recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
