Very tasty, easy and clean-up a snap! I agree, that 2Tbsp. of oregano is just perfect. I also added a bit of rosemary to kick it up a bit. As for cheese...it goes with almost anything so put it on; gives it that extra somethng that the dish lacks. Mozzarella the best!

Awesome dish and amazing how creamy it turns out. I made this dish without reading the reviews first. I did add cooked ground turkey the first time I made it. I just looked it up to make it a second time and i think I will add a little cheese to it this time after reading the reviews.

It was a big hit! I used fire roasted tomatoes for extra taste and finished the dish by broiling fresh mozzarella in the last 3 minutes. It was easy to prep, make, and clean. Thank you Giada!

When it comes to Giada, I devitate from her recipes sometimes and read the other reviews before I make the dish myself. This was one of them because I do not like fresh whole tomatoes. Since I don't, I took them out of the dish and used the canned tomatoes, pasta and topped the dish with cheese...very delicious! Reading the reviews I cut back the amount of oregano because that was a lot so I just added according to my tastes. Very good dish.

Very saucy and flavorful. I did cut oregano to just over one Tablespoon. And I added parm on top of pasta before adding tomatoes and on top of tomatoes once it came out of the oven. When I heated up leftovers, I mixed in chopped pepperoni. Wow, what an addition. I will add some meat (sausage, pepperoni next time I make.

Suprisingly, not good at all!! Resulted in a gooey, dense mess. Expected it to be light tomato dish.

Good idea to use up garden tomatoes! I added some mozzarella and parm cheese to the top for extra goodness.

I AM FROM FORMIA -ITALY- the town in Latium region that gives the name to this pasta. I make this recipe almost every Sunday for my family but a bit different. First less origano, ( one teaspoon then I add basil, some pieces of mozzarella [ the moisture will help cook it] together with crumbled hard boiled eggs and top it with grated parmigiano reggiano. It is really good. Ciao a tutte voi!

I loved this pasta and will definitely make again, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I did make a couple changes. I had read several other reviews complaining about the amount of oregano, so I cut it down to just 2 tablespoons. Next time, I will just use 1 1/2 tablespoons to cut down a bit more. I also added chopped fresh basil and topped with freshly grated parmesan right before serving. It definitely needs the cheese. With these changes, I loved this pasta!
