My one year old daughter and I really liked this recipe. My husband however did not care for the taste of the balsamic vinegar. I have made it twice now and will keep this super quick sauce recipe. I did decrease the amount of basil called for using only about half of the 1/2 cup. I also made the mistake of using crushed tomatoes the first time. The pieces were too small. The second time was much better with the whole tomatoes. - 19 Jan 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Used angel hair, fresh tomato, and a little less basil because that is what I had on hand. Absolutely delicious. - 05 Jun 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
