I admit that any recipe that starts with "easy" gets my attention. I work 6 days a week and can't get into the kitchen till after 6 most days. I try to make meals that are flavorful but also heart healthy. I liked what I saw in your recipe, a good foundation for a very nice dish. My DH cannot tolerate red pepper so I strove for a milder flavor. As I planned to mix the farfalle in the sauce, I knew I would need more sauce as it soaks up. I used a whole Vidalia onion, added 8 oz of sliced Bella mushrooms when the onion and garlic were sauteeing and did not drain the diced tomatoes in basil, oregano and garlic. Used less salt and added 1/4 cup of pinot grigio white wine to the simmering red sauce. Since I have 2 pots of fresh basil growing, I snipped several leaves for the sauce and added a dash of dried Italian seasoning. Since it had 3 large cloves of garlic in it, I did not add garlic powder. To lessen the fat content I added 2 cups of fat free half and half instead of real cream. Added the cooked pasta, stirred and let the family dip up their servings. They were very impressed and want to have it again soon. Thanks for a delightful recipe.

<p>Born & raised in Northern NJ and now live in the NJ suburbs of New York City. <br /><br />I grew up on all the traditional Italian meals from my Grandmother's kitchen. Holiday's were parades of food of all kinds, from main dishes to desserts, but mostly I remember Gram's traditional Italian dishes around the Holiday's surrounded by all of our family. <br /><br />I love to cook everything now. I find it great to experiment & try new recipes. Most of all, I love to entertain & host dinners with family, friends & have Holidays at home with my terrific husband & our four legged furry goofball bulldog! <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />Spring 2008: I was picked for the Pick-A-Chef Spring 2008 Contest by a wonderful chef: Chef #166642 who made my Recipe #293174 and my Recipe #285517 and lastly, my Recipe #287338 <br /><br />The link to the cookbook from that contest is: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=199542 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br />===================================== <br /><br />July 2008: I was just Z-mailed that I was picked for My 3 Chefs 2008 Cooking Contest by: Chef #829183 who made my: Recipe #307814 <br /><br />She Z-mailed me the link to the cookbook from that contest: http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=213150 <br /><br /><img src=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/potluckpbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br />=====================================</p>
