Pasta needs a little bit of improvements (will mention them but I love this recipe! But tips would be to add heirloom tomatoes, they add more aroma, color which satisfies the eyes, and most of all tastes more flavorful! My 2nd tip would be to add creme filled mozzarella to compliment the tomatoes. It creates a creamy & delicious sauce. But overall, the whole concept of this pasta is just amazing! It tastes wonderful. Bon Appetit!

I thought this was a really delicious and easy recipe. It was full of flavor from only a few ingredients. I used about 3/4 lb of the fusili pasta instead of the whole pound because I thought the sauce might become too thinned out with so much pasta. I also, just drained the pasta and poured it straight into the pan that I cooked the tomatoes in, that way the noodles could absorb all those flavors. Didnt need the residual pasta water either because the tomatoes gave out alot of water on their own. Will definitely make this again!

This is one of my family's favorite recipes. It was delicious as written, but we weren't too thrilled with the tomato skins. So now we use whole peeled canned tomatoes cut up. Also, we double the cheese because it's amazing. If you are using fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, this will not be bland at all. This is our favorite pasta, we have it almost once a week. My husband and I can't wait to take it to work for lunch the next day! Thanks Giada!!

This recipe is super delicious!!! I really can't understand the bland comments. I thought it had tons of flavor with the fresh ingredients. I altered it a little bit by using grape tomatoes and adding some heat with red pepper flakes. I also served it with rib eye steaks since my husband insists on meat :- Definitely a keeper!!!! I love you Giada!!!

Another delightful recipe that was a big hit. Thanks for so many vegetarian options! In this recipe, I use mozzarella I made myself : For those out there who love cooking, it's easier than you think (I am an amateur and it is so much more flavorful. A dish like this lets my cheese be the star.

We love, love this dish at home! I usually make it once a week, because it is so easy and tasty! I follow almost exactly Giada's recipe, the only things that I do differently are that I do not add the water from the cooked pasta (the tomatoes already produce a lot of juice, I cut the cherry tomatoes in halfs and not in quarters, and I usually use the small fresh mozzarella balls (not the pearls, but the ones that are a little larger' this way I do not need to dice the cheese. The cheese never clumps, maybe because I add some extra olive oil at the end and mix everything together. I have served this dish several tomes to guests, and everyone always goes for seconds. I don't know why some people say that the dish is bland, but I find that the amount of salt really makes the difference.
