YUM!! I accidently poured in the whole carton of whipping cream (1 cup instead of 1/2 cup) and it was a little soupy, but not too much. This was amazing with a great taste! We will definitely have this again.

    I did fresh tomatoes instead of the canned ones, and added in a 1/2 cup of water to substitute for the canned stuff. I did everything else as directed, but substituted whole milk for the heavy cream. I also put parmesan on top. It tasted ok, but kind of bland (until I put some more parmesan on and some more salt). It also came out watery. I guess I shouldn't have added water and actually used cream instead of whole milk. I'll have to try again and follow the recipe this time. Otherwise easy to make and fairly healthy!

    I made this last night and was plesantly surprised with the outcome. The sauce was very good wtihout the cream but I enjoyed the richness that it added. I also added a few tablespoons of grated romano cheese to the sauce and lots of extra garlic. I have lots of leftovers since there are only two of us but that is okay, I'll eat them for lunch today! Thanks for posting!

    Excellent recipe! So easy to make and delicious! My husband loved it, even though he does not normally like pasta. I used milk instead of cream (did not have cream). The sauce had nice full flavor - I can just imagine how good it is with cream! Thanks for the recipe, Lucy!
