This was fantastic! I did make some minor adjustments to the recipe. I used one 14 oz. can diced tomatoes and one 14 oz. can of tomato puree instead of the 28 oz. jar of pasta sauce. I used cream instead of half and half and I added 1 Tbsp. of sugar. We served it over cheese tortellini and it was delicious!
Yum. I could eat this sauce with a spoon. Very delicious. I used heavy whipping cream since that is what I had and then tossed it with 24 ozs cooked spaghetti. Think next time I will use less spaghetti so that it is saucier. I wanted to dip my bread in this. Will definately make again!
Winner Dinner! What a easy & wonderful tasting sauce. I used Classico Traditional Sweet Basil sauce. I loved the hint of nutmeg in the sauce (I used fresh grated nutmeg so it may have been a bit stronger). Teamed with Fast & Friendly Meatballs from this site for a family pleasing meal.
This was very good. I used milk instead of half and half and some stewed tomatoes blended up instead of the pasta sauce. It took a while to boil the extra liquid off but it came out great.
So easy and so good did not change a thing.
Thank goodness I heeded others advice about the excess sauce - used 12oz pasta instead of only 8oz and it still alot of sauce leftover. BUT it was delicious! I too used a "garden chunky" pasta sauce (that has green peppers onions & mushrooms) and I steamed some fresh broccoli - I placed the pasta on the plate then the sauce then the broccoli and finally sprinkled the parmesan and a little mozzerella cheese overall. Very "pretty" and VERY tasty. No guest would guess that it was soooo easy to make. Thank you much Brenda!!
very easy quick dinner. The key to this recipe is it will only be as good as the ingredients you use. So if you try to get away with a cheap spag. sauce you may get a bland result. The higher quality sauces tend to have little chunks of veggies and more flavour to start with therefore your end result will be more flavourfull. I also added roasted red/yellow/orange peppers. I have done this before but completely forgot about it! thanks for the reminder. Lorrie
This was perfect. I used a can of tomatoes that I simmered down for the sauce and then added the rest of the ingredients. Can't wait to try it with tomatoes from the garden. I really like the nutmeg and used 1% cream instead of the half and half.
While this was good it was a lot of work for something that you can pretty much get from a jar anyway - for example a pasta vodka creamy tomato sauce. I did make it exactly what the recipe called for and served it over tortellini but it is definitely NOT a quick meal. It takes some time to prepare.
Sorry this was just kind of boring for us. I love vodka cream sauces and don't find them to be bland at all - maybe that is what I was missing from this. I will not be making again.
