    I'm glad I saved this episode on TV, because the recipe is a little bit different. It makes all the difference to add the pasta to the sauce and cook a little longer with the parmesan at the end. Make sure your pasta is al dente before adding to the sauce.....Delicioso! Thanks Ina for getting him to share his recipe. You are the BEST!

    I can not find San Marzano tomatoes in Southern California. Does anyone know of anywhere? Thanks!

    This pasta was some of the best I've ever tasted. The sauce was super easy to make too. Will definitely make again!

    I really didn't think Ina had any "STRAIGHT" friends.

    Thia was an absolutely delicious recipe. I was a bit concerned when I took
    the sauce out of the oven because it was so thick. I even rechecked the
    recipe to make sure I wasn't supposed to add the drained tomato sauce.
    After the cream was added (1-1/2 cups it all came together and coated and
    adhered to the penne perfect. I used Penzey's Spices red pepper flakes and
    they are hotter than most so next time I would reduce the amount by half. This
    is a delicious dish to serve to family and company and I will definitely make
    it again!

    THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DISHES EVER! THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T DO BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRAINTS WAS BAKE THE TOMATOES. I JUST COOKED THEM A LITTLE LONGER ONTHE STOVE. YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL LOVE THIS DISH.

    Maybe us folks in California like a little extra spice, the red pepper was a nice touch. I did take the recommendation and refrain from using 2 cups cream and only used 1 cup. I served the pasta to 4 hungry guests and found that i had a lot more sauce leftover rather than pasta. I ended up cooking up more pasta and used the remaining sauce for lunch leftovers. Great easy dish that goes a long way. Enjoy!

    I have tried this pasta dish from Nick & Toni's. I have been enjoying this recipe since one of the original chef's from Nick & Toni's adapted it and brought it back from Italy to the restaurant. You should have tried it then! It isn't what it used to be

    this isn't the best Ina recipe i've ever made but it's worth being a repeat i think. it does take a long time but it's not difficult to execute.

    I truly enjoyed this sauce.

    It was a hit with everyone who ate it; but I'm still going to try to improve it somewhat.

    I'm going to grill the tomatoes with some wood smoke before adding them to the onions, garlic, oil, and vodka.
