Took your note to heart and made my own version of this with fresh tomatoes and olive oil like another reviewer, plus subbed oregano and added Meyer lemon from the garden. It came out really good! -
Too boring for my taste. Might make a good starter, maybe toss in some Italian sausage, green peppers, parmesan cheese, etc. -
I did not have canned tomatoes on hand so I used 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes, 1/4 c red onion and 2 cloves garlic. Sauted the onions and garlic in olive oil added the tomatoes and basil, simmered for 5 minutes. GREAT!!!

My first cooking experience was taking as many spices from the shelf as I could reach and mixing them all together in a huge bowl. Needless to say, my mom wasn't impressed with my concoction, but at age 3, I thought I'd make a masterpiece. Since then, my approach to cooking has been a mixture of "trial by fire" and my mom's adage of "if you can read, you can cook."
