This deserves more than 5 stars! This is an incredible tasting dish. Since I have tons of tomatoes in the garden, I used fresh peeled and seeded tomatoes. I made this with whole milk, added a few frozen peas for color, and the pasta we chose was penne. I will definitely make this often. Thanks!!

Let me just say this: YUM. Okay, and I'll say more: I just finished the leftovers for breakfast. This was a very easy dish and tasted like it took much more work. I let the sauce cook down a little more than suggested, and I added more red pepper flakes, and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing this great recipe GinnyP!

I'm going to give this a measly 945,433,906 stars only because we don't care for red peppers. My GAWD, can a recipe get any easier or more delicious? I think not! The quantity of each ingredient was right on the money. I followed the recipe verbatim, except for the following: omitted the evil peppers, used 1/2 lb of penne (8 oz), and a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes because that's what I had on hand. PERFECT-O! (see photo!) Thanks for this, Ginny... it's gone straight into my "ENCORE" cookbook without passing go or collecting $200.

Delicious! I used fresh tomatoes, added some basil, oregano, thyme, water, and tomato paste to it in place of the Italian Plum Tomatoes. I also used half and half in place of the cream, and omitted the oil as I didn't think it needed it. It was a winner! I doubled the recipe, and it made MORE than enough for two meals for the four of us. Thanks for the great recipe, I will make this again!

We really enjoyed this one! If you want the sauce to stick to the pasta, DON'T RINSE the pasta and let it sit for awhile after pouring it on to absorb a little in the pan. Great flavor, and liked the added kick from the red pepper flakes. This is one we will be having again, guaranteed!

Like this needs another review! But I had to say that this is one of my kid's favourite meals. To tell the truth, its one of mine, too. We make it with hot italian sausage because we like things spicy rather than sweet. I've made it many times and have had really good success reducing the calorie and fat by substituting non-fat cream cheese for the whipping cream. I just soften an eight ounce block and stir it in until it melts. If you are one of the few people on the planet who don't already love this, please try it. It's addictively good.

So yummy! At first I thought there was too much cream in the sauce (it appears thin when you put it in with the tomatoes) but once I added the pasta it soaked it all up. I doubled the recipe and had some for lunch and dinner today, too.

My husband & I loooove this recipe so much...it's the only pasta he asks for now.I do prepare it a little different though. Since I don't like chunky tomato 'bits', I add the tomato by itself without the cream and salt and cook it by itself for a few minutes. That seems to break down the tomato and the sauce is smooth when the cream is added. Also I add roughly chopped sundried tomatoes at the same time I fry the tomato....it gives a richer taste to the dish. This is the dish I make most on recipezaar. Thanks GinnyP!!!!

Really really good. The only thing I would do differently is add more pasta next time. I used about 1 cup of dried penne but it could easily have used twice as much or more. Otherwise, Sunday dinner last week was a hit with this recipe. Will do again for sure. Thanks for posting it!

Excellent and definitely loved by my family. I made my usual substituion for whipping cream: 5 oz. evaporated milk. It works great and this way I can keep the ingredients on hand without fear of spoilage while living overseas (military). This is worth of every single star.
