The store-bought because I'm lazy; the whole wheat because I had to run long-distance today. Anyway, the sauce part turned out really well (what more would I expect?) but the pasta sort of brought it down a notch, both due to its texture and some incidents with the stove and the pot of water. I'll probably make this with white pasta sometime- I'm sure it'll turn out amazingly well! I made this last night, but with store-bought whole wheat pasta.

I even made the pasta using your recipe, and without a pasta making machine....a little more time consuming, especially to cut it, but it still came out awesome! The only question I have is that you mention basil in the list of ingredients, but in your directions I couldn't find where to add it...I assume at the end? All your recipes that I have tried have been awesome...thanks for making me a better cook and baker! I made this last night, and it was delicious!!

One twist that takes the sauce in a different direction: add in a few anchovy filets before baking and then mix them in with the sauce over the noodles. Lovely.

I took my 20 pounds of tomatoes and cored them, sliced them in half and poured olive oil in a cookie sheet with a small lip on it. I sprinkled sea salt on liberally. I roasted them on my gas grill at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. When they have cooled a bit I squeezed out the extra juice and pulverized them in the cusinart. I roasted some sweet onions and garlic in the same manner and added them to the cusinart. At the end I tossed in some basil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. I then processed bottles of the sauce in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Yum! And Easy for alot of end of summer tomatoes. This recipe inspired me to to change up my spaghetti sauce recipe.

It may have reacted with the acidity of the tomatoes. Might you have used a metal baking dish? It may have reacted with the acidity of the tomatoes.

I will certainly try it again..and perhaps throw some veggies into the mix. I did have to add a bit of oil to my pasta when mixing the tomatoes in. I made this last night and loved it.

I've made a slightly different version of it for years and it is always amazing. I sometimes make it with romas when they are super cheep in the farmer's markets or (to make a *really* pretty dinner) with baby heirloom tomatoes. They are so pretty, it's like eating a bowl of rainbows. This recipe is impossible to mess up. Nancy- You throw the basil in at the end when you mix the tomatoes with the pasta.
