Alla Checca

Something else. Excellent recipe, however it needs just a little more flavour. Don't forget to add half a minced red onion (or more to taste). That really complements the tomato flavour. Salt needs to be about half a teaspoon and a hint of freshly ground black pepper. Also, if you're in a hurry or out of fresh tomatoes, the tinned tomatoes actually substitute quite well. You can buy whole tinned and chop them yourself or buy them already chopped. Oh, and I think 4 T of olive oil was fine since I am not too fond of oil. I would just add an extra tomato or two to have enough sauce. FABULOUS fresh recipe.  -  21 Jul 2008

Used different ingredients. My husband and son #2 aren't keen on parmesan so I omitted that and put a splash of balsamic vinegar instead. Also, if you can get it, try Red Kelly's pepperberry rock salt rather than ordinary salt.  -  15 Mar 2010

Altered ingredient amounts. Used home grown tomatoes and home grown herbs. Tend to be sparse with salt. Lots and lots of shaved parmesan.  -  11 Mar 2009
