    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/03/2019   Really fresh and delicious. I added some cooked sausage and sautéed onion. I hate recipes that say things like “2 1/2 pounds tomatoes.” I have a well equipped kitchen, but no scale. Tell me in cups, please.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/17/2019   I found this recipe several years ago and have made it many times ~ it is a wonderful favorite for us. I use quite a bit more garlic and more basil. Once we got the measurements the way we like it is a definite favorite! We are now grain free (High fat/low carb) so I am hoping to try this over zucchini soon with grilled chicken. Might try it with avocado oil this time. :) I also like the idea some one had to add fresh mozzarella. Might try that too!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       06/07/2016   Tried this tonight, added olives to it, and the Italian in me demanded more garlic and olive oil, this was awesome!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/30/2016   Great easy recipe for outdoor dining. I added fresh mozzarella, which was one more cheese to add - but worth it.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/30/2014   THE BEST SAUCE EVER!!! In this case, what you put in is what you get. I purchased expensive organic heirloom tomatoes for this recipe, and I got exquisite flavor. Standard store bought tomatoes could not produce that kind of flavor, so I would not bother with those. Simple sauce, few ingredients, it does not get better than that! Thank you Martha.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/03/2014   I made this for our family a couple nights ago. It certainly was easy to make, but we found it quite sour/tart and very watery. Our grandsons refused to eat it - and they will eat anything! I think I will try it again, but this time I will seed the tomatoes before throwing them in the food processor. I'll probably tweak the spices a bit, too.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/11/2013   Made this last night. It was easy and wonderful. I did not have spaghetti so I used low-carb penne pasta instead. Definitely a keeper!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       05/06/2013   I absolutely loved this. Easy, refreshing, yummy. I used low carbon rotini pasta and spooned the sauce over individual bowls. Topped it off with grated parmesan.. This is perfect for a light summer meal.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/29/2013   This is the best sauce I have ever made, it's fresh, light and the right balance.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/27/2013   Love this recipe, also great with short pasta an a good can of Italian tuna in oil...  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/03/2013   I just made this tonight...it was delicious!!! Love this recipe, very easy to make and even my very picky husband loved it. Told me I can make it again anytime. The only thing I did different is use freeze dried parsley and basil, did 3 TBSP of Basil, 1 whole heirloom tomato and pulsed in the blender...it becomes more of a sauce that way...but loved it!!!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/06/2012   I made this tonight and it was very good but I had to make it alittle naughty so I added a small thing of cream cheese and it was delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2012   delicous and easy !!!!!!!!! make sure you use fresh basil and fresh parsley .. so simple will make this over and over !!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/15/2012   We've made this a few times now. It is better when you let some but not all of the juices drain out (so the sauce is chunkier). I also like to put it in the hot pan after I've dumped the pasta out into a colander, to heat it up just for 30 seconds or so. So good!
