This is my kids' favorite pasta recipe! It says to drain the capers but I just throw the juice in there, too, and it adds a nice kick. Adding extra tomatoes is always a good idea, too!

I've made this twice since my CSA gave me a nice abundance of mixed color cherry tomatoes. First of all, I made my own seasoned breadcrumbs and mixed them with a little oil instead of drizzling. I used fresh basil and parsley at the end. Now, this is a beautiful dish on it's own, but the last time I added a can of Italian tuna in oil to the tomato mixture and it was just amazing. It really does remind me of Ponza - so fresh, light and simple.

OMG!!!!! Soooooooooo good! My guests loved it and so did my kids....the next day! This was pretty easy and very delicious. The only thing I added was some fresh minced garlic into the tomato mixture. I didn't have bread crumbs so I put some croutons in the food processor....I'm sure the recipe is perfect as is. Giada does it again! I will be making this again and again and again. There was NOTHING bland about it. Oh, be sure to use freshly grated pecorino romano...so much better than store bought pre-grated.

Absolutely delish! I added extra capers because I love them so much. This is a must try...not bland at all.

Overall a flavourable pasta if you tweak it a bit. I dislike capers, so i substituted using 1/4 cup of balsamic vingear, added a pint of cherry tomatoes and one can of stewed, italian seasoned tomatoes. I use more of the pecorino romano cheese then she suggests as the cheese is what really gives this pasta it's flavour. I find this pasta is even better re-heated. Try using rigatoni pasta as the larger tubes seem to hold the sauce and tomato bits better.

I loved this dish and so did my fiance. I added marinated artichokes to the tomato mixture. If you're thinking of trying this but worried about the "bland" comments, don't, just try it. Add garlic, onions, or something spicy if those are your tastes but it's great as is (although the artichokes in mine probably did add a bit of flavor. Paired it with chicken, it was easy, plenty of time to clean as I went, definitely will do it again.

Pretty bland. Not one of my favorite Giada recipes. Doubt I'll make it again.
