This is such an easy and tasty recipe! I made 1/4 the recipe for my sis and me and it turned out very, very yummy! I especially liked the combination of the tomato sauce, herbs and balsamic vinegar. Due to personal preference I added in some dried rosemary and chilli pepper flakes, but other than that stuck to your recipe and loved it! :)<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a keeper with us, Babzy!<br/>Made and reviewed for I Recommend Tag July 2011.

This recipe was super easy and so delicious! The ingredients were items that I almost always have on hand. I will definitely make it again.

Best recipe yet. Super easy! I added fresh onions and peppers to add color. The taste is fantastic! Will make it again.

This is a good recipe. But we found that it tasted too much of the balsamic vinegar. I used fresh basil that I added at the end. I think it would be better tasting with fresh tomatoes. Thanks Babzy :) Made for I Recommend tag game

This is an easy recipe that can be enjoyed simply as it is or jazzed up with additional veggies or fresh herbs. I halved the recipe and used a can of diced tomatoes with sweet onion. I used gluten free pasta and diced some chicken breast into my serving. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. Thank you for posting! Reviewed for ZWT - 7.
