I loved this dish, and so did my family. I only had fire roasted tomatoes, and added some crushed red pepper flake, and it was was phenomenal! I doubled the amount of everything, and used the left over sauce for a base of a soup recipe I made the next day! I would reccomend this dish to anyone who loves garlic!

I was excited about making this after watching her show but the recipe here is different - I remember her using milk on her show. I thought the sauce was kind of runny and greasy. It tasted good but could use more flavor. It is high calorie/fat for a meatless sauce and I would be okay with that if it was AMAZING, but it isn't. It is good.

I used diced fire roasted tomatoes and then put them into a food processor because I don't like chunks of tomatoes and I couldn't find crushed tomatoes in a 15 oz can. This came out pretty good, it looked like it would be too oily when I was first making it but once you mix everything together it's fine.

I was really excited to try this- I LOVE garlic, and this week I am trying a vegan diet; but I was slightly disappointed in this recipe. I thought it was good, overall, but the next time I make it I will reduce the amount of garlic, oil and butter (I, too, made in one pot, and added in a can of roasted tomatoes for varying texture.
One tip: be careful not to burn the garlic. My pan was WAY too hot the first time around and I had to start over, then for the second batch, I don't think was cooked on a high enough flame.

WOW. Insanely good. I followed the directions exactly except for adding a little red pepper flake, used tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes, and added the butter and tomato to the oil pot instead of dirtying another pot. I would totally serve this to guests and I love that it has so few ingredients. Cooking the garlic low and slow like that really developed the flavor into something more complex, my husband asked if it had wine in it. Next time I'll play around with the oil and butter content to see how low I can get the calories without sacrificing too much flavor. Right now there's about 450 calories per serving just for the sauce. It's a splurge, but worth every calorie. I had it for lunch and then ate a really light dinner.

Made this last night and WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! The sauce was greasy and just tasted like I opened up a can of tomato sauce, warmed it up, and dumped it on a plate of pasta. I'm upset that I used my good butter, Plugra for this cruddy recipe! In order for the garlic not to dry out, you have to use a small saucepan. Eyeballing what she did, she didn't give her audience the right amounts. If I had used the pan she used, my garlic would have burned and dried out for sure. I doubled up on the garlic and it still didn't seem enough, but we're garlic lovers. They don't make cans of crushed tomatoes any smaller than 28 oz. I used the whole thing and it was a good thing I did, otherwise, this greasy oil slick of a dish would be worse. If I make this again, I'm making it my way, with roasted tomatoes, more garlic, less butter, and maybe some red pepper flakes or something to help make this sauce taste better. In the end, it just left a buttery film in my mouth with the taste of raw tomato sauce.

You would think this would be really garlicky but it's not. My boys like saucy pasta so I almost doubled the tomatos and this was one of their favorite pasta dishes EVER!!!!!

I absolutely loved this. The flavors were surprisingly complex considering how few ingredients are used and how easy it was. Used a bit less butter, but will probably cut back to about 1/2 of what's called for in the recipe b/c I still found it to be a bit on the greasy side, especially when reheated. I also used plain tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes. Will definitely be making this on a regular basis.

This is fantastic. Thanks for the great recipe! Didn't think it was too much butter or oil. Used about 3/4 of a 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes.
