Really enjoyed this light, fresh meal. I used about half the pasta since there were only 3 of us. I followed the rest of the recipe the same, using basil and parmesan instead of asiago. Although we had half the pasta, the sauce was NOT too much in proportion to the pasta, so I'm glad I didn't reduce that by half too.

I've started making this in lieu of spaghetti and tomato sauce. The cherry tomatoes get so sweet and delicious! I also roasted some mushrooms along with the tomatoes and used italian blend cheese because it was on hand
