Expert Tips

Roma—or plum—tomatoes are often preferred for sauces because they have fewer seeds and firmer flesh than regular slicing tomatoes.

Slice 1 or 2 fully cooked Italian sausages, and cook with the garlic for a heartier meal.

Very good recipe. If you want a pure tomate taste try this. Place tomatoes in a boiling water bath, remove in 30-35 seconds, quater, remove seeds,"they are bitter" and gelatinous material, drain in a sieve to remove liquid, what you have left is pure tomatoe pulp. This tip will make a thicker and pure tomatoe taste.

This dish is absolutely delicious and easy to make, however, I would use about 6 oz. of penne pasta instead of 8 oz. I will definitely be making it again and again.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this recipe! I have roma tomatoes in my garden and they are so good when you cook them with fresh garlic this way! You need to try this recipe! The one think is though, my sauce doesn't thicken the way it looks in the picture. I'm not sure if its the temp I cook them at or what, but it still tastes fantastic so I don't care!
