"Hi Paula, G! This is incredible! It had a bit of spiciness from the 1 pepper I added and the fresh basil and mint added something very earthy to this dish. Excellent flavor, and my meat-eating husband thought it was great too. We served with a side salad for a wonderful meal. Oh, I did add a pinch of course ground pepper, garlic, and italian seasoning. Though, it wasn't required. Thanks, we'll have this often!"

"We just loved this simple, easy to put together dish. The freshness of the tomatoes paired with the heat of the jalepenos went together fantastically. I also tossed in some fresh asparagus sliced very thin that I had on hand. Even my meat loving DH loved it! Thanks for a terrific dish! Made for ZWT 3 :)"

"Oh boy, this was really good. I chilled it overnight so I could enjoy it today for lunch. Really fresh. Had a nice glass of iced tea with it. Perfect!"

"This was a very colourful & refreshing change from standard spaghetti sauce - the basil/mint (fresh from our garden) combo was delish! Our Roma tomatoes were pretty sad looking this year so I used the regular type. I also used a mix of plain & spinach flavoured egg noodles which increased the eye appeal. Thanx Paula!"

"This is great ! You are so right about the basil/mint combination, and I would caution anybody who is considering making this but leaving out the mint not to do it! It is really such a lovely flavor. Thanks for posting."
