EXPERT TIPS

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.

This recipe is amazing! I didn't change a thing. It took a bit longer for come of the liquid to cook down that I thought it would but turned out perfect anyway. My only advice is to double or even triple the recipe because it goes fast and you'll want more!

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.
