The first time I made this recipe I followed it exactly. It was good but a bit bland for my taste. The second time I substituted a few things. First I added sweet vidalia onions instead of ordinary white onion. I used diced tomatoes with basil and oregano instead of crushed tomatoes. I sauteed all the veggies except the tomatoes in olive oil along with mushrooms and black olives. I added the tomatoes near the end just to warm through along with a pinch each of red pepper flakes and italian seasoning. Also i used radiatore instead of angel hair pasta just because I like it better. With a few changes this was so good even my meat loving mother loved it! This is a new family staple.
After reading reviews I added about a half cup of chopped fresh basil and parsley to the tomatos and let them sit while I prepared the rest of the dish. I also used olive oil instead of butter when heating the onion and garlic. I added a little more fresh basil to the zucchini & squash while they cooked. And I used wwhole heat penne pasta. My fiance and I thought this dish was very good. I'm still eating the left overs!
Great recipe...delicious! I made this recipe with a few minor modifications. I used one vidalia onion instead of a white onion 1 (28 oz.) can diced basil oregano garlic tomatoes instead of crushed tomoates and 1/2 cup fresh basil and parsley chopped. I will definitely make this recipe again.
nice light dish for summer....even for meat lovers! My husband asks for it every week!
This was so good and refreshing! I didn't use the entire can of tomatoes and slightly more butter! Will make again!
Big family of picky eaters and ALL liked this! Definitely will make again. I used fresh tomatoes and squash from my garden.
This recipe has very nice subtle flavors. I skipped the butter and used olive oil in its place to lose the sat fat. Also added 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley. Very good.
So yummy! I made this tonight for my roommate and my vegetable-hating boyfriend and even he enjoyed it! I did take a few liberties with the sauce though; instead of the crushed tomatoes I used a can of Hunts tomato sauce and a can of Hunts diced tomatoes because we like our pasta to have a more liquidy sauce. I also added oregano because I love that stuff. All in all even though boyfriend wished it'd had meat he still liked it and the roommate and I absolutely LOVED it. Very tasty and it isn't such a heavy pasta that it makes you feel sluggish after you're finished eating. I will definitely make this again and will definitely recommend it to others!
Excellent! I used a quart of tomatoes that I canned last summer in place of the crushed tomatoes omitted the butter and olive oil (the jar of tomatoes had plenty of liquid). I also substituted whole wheat linguine instead of angel hair pasta (sounded better to me). I added Italian seasonings. Hit the spot!
This was pretty good. Needed a lot of modification but the recipe was a good place to start.
