I am not a big fan of cooked tomatoes so I really didn't hold high hopes for this. Boy was I surprised, the tomatoes were sweet and the whole dish came together very easily. My only mistake was I forgot to reserve some pasta water so I added about a tablespoon of butter to the finished pasta otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. All l can say is delicious, I will definately be making this again.

I really enjoyed making this pasta dish as well as eating it! My husband isn't a huge fan of capers but loved it in this recipe! Giada has inspired me. :

This recipe is very yummy! I made a couple of tweaks... I cut out the capers and added some grated garlic to the tomatoes before putting them in the oven. I also didn't add as much breadcrumbs or cheese as the recipe calls for. It was great! I don't feel guilty eating it because it's mainly tomatoes. Also, I cut the recipe in half and it still made a lot.

This dish was very delicious! I added grilled chicken. We could not get enough of this dish! I was skeptical about the capers but so glad that I decided to keep those in.

Giada has done it again!

This recipe is great after work because it is so easy to make. Was really delicious. I was surprised that a sauce was formed from the tomato breadcrumb mixture and it wasn't dry at all. Full of flavor!

Your pasta ponza is a keeper! Everyone just loved it. Thank you Giada for sharing one of your most beloved secret family recipes.The simplest preparation and the freshest ingredients are always the best! :D
My version: No capers added and used Trader Giotto's Quattro Formaggio blend of 4 cheeses, Asiago, Fontina, Provolone and Parmesan. Score!!

Giada hits a homerun again with this one. I added garlic & shallot to the tomatoes & it was so good. I also used a 3cheese blend of Asiago, Parmesan & Romano & let me tell you, it was perfect! But because of the cheese blend, you should watch the salt.....sigh.....Gosh I love food! LOL :

I almost always have Food Network on in the background while I work at home, and Giada is one of my favorites. Today, I was just thinking about preparing an easy lunch for my husband (who is also working in his home office today and me when Giada started walking through this recipe. Since all ingredients were in the kitchen, I quickly tossed this together. Wow! What a wonderful dish! It's simple to make with just a few ingredients, but has fantastic depth of flavor and texture. Thank you, Giada! I can see this becoming a "go to" meal for us!

This recipe hit the spot. Please use capers it makes the dish.. For bread crumbs I crush croutons and it was perfect, also added 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Served with grilled shrimp on top, next time will try sausage.My son who is very picky loved it and even went for seconds..

My daughter and I love watching Giada. We record on our DVR and watch her together. This recipe looked delicious, and easy, so I roped my daughter in to grate the cheese, and monitored her while she sliced the tomatoes in half. The results were delicious! It makes me laugh though, without any encouragement from me, my daughter mocks Giada's accent mercilessly! Today she asked me "Why does she say Zee-tee" the way she does? And what about the way she says Spee-gee-tee?" What do I do??? I just smile. Anyway, back to the recipe. Capers are too expensive, so I roughly chopped some green olives to sprinkle on the finished dish. My daughter tossed everything together and told me "I can hear my pasta speaking to me!" just like Giada said on this episode. This recipe is a keeper, fresh and flavorful, I will be making it a lot.
