I agree that this recipe is a good place to start. I think next time I will roast the garlic if time permits. I like it with cayenne and a little sugar.

This is a great recipe and would be easy to change up however you like.  You could add shrimp, mushrooms, asparagus or whatever you want to make it more hearty.  I did increase the sauce to pasta ratio and was glad that I did.  I served it with a rosemary bread which complimented it nicely.  Will definitely make this again.  It will be even better with homegrown tomatoes in the summer!

Very good staple...sauce was tasty but could have used something else.  Will try red onion or shallots next time I make it.

This couldn't be any easier to make and the results are great.  Sometimes I leave the basil out to get a more savory sauce.

I give this version 3 stars...but it's a 5 star dish when you double all but the noodles and oil of the ingredients.  Amazing and rich, creamy.  A staple in our home!  Topped with even extra basil...for a bit of zing, I'll add a roasted jalapeno!  I've enjoyed playing with this dish, even adding olives and capers on occasion.

the sauce was nice but it's really in the minimalist range of pasta dishes. tastes great but it was  bit too sparse for me.

This is a fabulous summery dish! We sometimes add a little cooked chicken breast for a heartier meal.
