    Exactly the recipe I was searching for! I have about 20lbs. of blemished tomatoes on my kitchen counter from our produce department that would have been discarded if I was not so "thrifty" (this is a weekly average for our store. I wish more people has seen the "Wasted" program and would give blemished produce a chance. I price it low but still cannot even give bruised or flawed produce away! On a happy note though, although it is February in the Midwest, I still have fresh oregano in my garden and a pile of less than perfect basil (rescued from the trash bin to make a lovely sauce!

    The blend of herbs selected by Wolfgang Puck lends a magical touch to a classic pasta sauce. As close as I have ever come to an authentic Italian sauce. Spend the extra $ and use imported San Marzano tomatoes. Cento brant "certified" San Marzano tomatoes are available here in upstate NY. They are hand picked only when they are ripe, giving them a distinctively sun-ripe and sweet taste.

    This was good and easy enough for my 9 year old to do most of it on her own. A little sweet so I would cut back on the sugar and not nearly enough for even just the 13 oz box of whole wheat thin spaghetti we used. Definitely double the recipe or halve the pasta.

    I recently visited Italy and this sauce has the taste and texture of the sauces I experienced in the Umbria region of Italy which were the best sauces I have ever had. My husband is of Itlain decent and when we went to Italy he was in awe of the sauce in the Umbrian region. He hoped we could replicate it and we did!!! thank you Wolfgang Puck and the Footnetwork!!

    I was looking for a recipe to use up the copious amount of tomatoes that my plants are producing and found this recipe. I prepared it exactly as written, and my husband and I thought it was very good. I didn't have angel hair pasta in my pantry so used linguine, but it was still very tasty. I'll definitely fix this again, maybe with sausage or meatballs next time.

    Quick & easy recipe that is both fresh & economical.

    In addition to the ingredients, I added 2 tablespoons of Cream Cheese to the sauce while simmering...the sauce takes on a great creamy taste. Also, toasted 1/4 cup of Pine Nuts and added them in at the end.

    A great entree or accompanied by chicken/fish/pork....will make again.

    Great and super easy! I modified a bit...I doubled the recipe for the sauce as others suggested. I didn't have fresh herbs, so used dry (1 teaspoon dried Thyme instead and about a 1/2 teaspoon Oregano. I also have a teenager and wanted to make a bit heartier so I browned 1 lb. of Italian sausage and tossed that in at the end with the pasta and sauce. It did need a little sea salt as others suggested but it was FANTASTIC! Family (son included loved it!

    This a wonderful dish. The use of fettuccini pasta makes it more substantial and more satisfying. This sauce is more than capable of standing up to this heavier pasta. Great eats!

    This was great to use some of the many garden tomatoes. Lovely fresh flavor. I served the sauce over Italian meatballs with parmesan pasta noodles on the side.

    We made this last night and the flavors are wonderfully fresh. As other cooks recommended, the tomato/pasta ratio needs to be changed. I used 1/2 of the angel hair, only about 6-8 oz. I also added in more garlic. This is an easy recipe that can easily be tweaked to fit your tastes, more tomatoes, more garlic, less basil.... just taste along the way and enjoy!
