Reviews

Michael Yates
I loved it. Added some hatch peppers
Tanya Crane
This is delicious!
Paul Miranda
My picky eater even approved. I did make some substitutions because I didn’t have fresh basil or sun dried tomatoes on hand. I chopped up sweet cherry peppers and sprinkled dried basil in at the end. I followed the advice in the comments and doubled the sauce. Excellent. Will make again.
Alex Watson
After reading several reviews, I added additional heavy cream and that made the dish a hit!
Mark Juarez
Looks & sounds delicious
Erin Arnold
Was delicious. Listened to the masses. Doubled the sauce. Swapped wine for chicken stock since I had none on hand and used grape tomatoes vs sun-dried because, again it’s what I had. Generous with the seasonings..Really good. Thanks will include in the family rotation.
Lynn Kennedy
I loved this dish. Period.
Dan Walter
We add extra tomatoes, basil, cheese, and wine plus we add some frozen organic sweet corn. A family favorite.
Mark Martinez
I didn’t totally follow the episode, I used fresh heirloom tomatoes instead of sundried, and I also added kalamata olives, and capers. It turned out awesome! Super impressed with myself, it tasted like a dish you’d buy at a restaurant! Definitely recommend!
