This was such a quick and easy pasta! I used half chicken broth to add flavor. Amazing how this all came together.

I'm thinking this would work just as well with gluten free pasta, has anybody tried it?

Because of the fact that the “sauce” is made from the starchy cooking water, I’m not sure that gluten free pasta would work the same as regular (because I don’t think the starch thrown off by the pasta would be the same).

I tried this again because I was in a hurry, and this time I pulsed the tomatoes in the processor a couple of times. Also added a small can of tomato sauce, and it was much better. The linguini was a little mushy as one reviewer said, but not too bad. It lends itself to a lot of variations, and is easy to throw together, so I'll probably do it again. Maybe with macaroni instead of linguini next time, easier to pick up.

Lovely recipe which allows lots of ways to personalise and make it your own. I took the advice of others and sauteed my onions and garlic first. I also added some tomato paste before adding my pasta as well as chili flakes. I ended up using all of the water and a bit more but I guess that depends on the make of pasta. It took a bit longer to cook but again that is to taste and the pasta itself. All in all a great recipe and a quick midweek meal.

While I liked the simplicity of the dish, I found the end result gummy and most likely won’t make it again.

I've made this recipe and various renditions of it many times. It's excellent and so so easy. A very tasty, simple meal to prepare that definitely has great texture and flavor. Big fan!

I made this dish and liked the spice I also added sliced Kalamata and Spanish olives with pimiento as I prefer not to eat cheese and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was creamy and delicious, so much so that I made it again for company tonight and they said they’d make it.

We like a real tomato-y sauce and this just didn't do it. I cut the tomatoes in half and used a whole box of them, but they just didn't cook up. So I added some tomato paste and even a few squirts of ketchup for sweetness, and it was OK. Also added some frozen meatballs. I will agree it's quick if I don't want to spend hours cooking sauce, but it took a lot more than 9 minutes to use up all the water and the linguini was kind of mushy. Oh well, it was worth a try but I don't think I'll be making it again.

I made this tonight for the first time and it was absolutely wonderful, with one small exception — 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes makes this a very spicy dish, not only for me (who doesn’t particularly care for spicy) but even for my husband who loves spicy food. But we both thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be making it again very soon, this time with a bit less red pepper flakes. It is a great dish!

I made this exactly as written plus a little oregano because my basil was sad and it was delicious! Even my crazy picky toddler ate it! I think the pan size/style is imports to make sure the water/sauce boils down appropriately.

I've made this twice and like it a lot. Last time I added more cherry tomatoes and I sauteed the onions and garlic before adding the other ingredients. Both times I made it, I had a lot of leftover liquid in the pot when the spaghetti was cooked. I reduced the amount to about 3 1/2 cups last time and it was still kind of soupy. Has anyone else had this issue?

This is such a great recipe to just have fun with! I didn’t follow the instructions exactly, adding shrimp and spinach as I read in other reviews. I also used the cork screw pasta (I don’t know the name- I’m such a child) and it worked great with the lighter sauce. I enjoyed every aspect of this dish- from collecting veggies from my garden to improvising on the fly, and finally dinner. Thank you so much for this! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did!

Made this recipe this morning. Substituted in Penne and chicken stock. Everything else the same. Absolutely amazing and delicious pasta dish, and all made in one pan (a 3-quart rounded-side, non-stick, hybrid-looking pot/pan). Sauce was slightly creamy from the pasta starch, the onions were soft, and the pasta al dente. Four servings? Sounds like one serving to me. :-D BTW, I'm not a big Martha Stewart fan, but I can't say "no" to trying her pasta recipes, especially when they're this simple.

Would have been helpful to know the size pan used. I attempted to make the recipe but had a lot of spillover and because the pan, similar to theirs, was too small I had pasta stick to the bottom of the pan. What a mess!!! This is an excellent master recipe that can be changed up in many ways. Next time I'll use my pasta pot to eliminate the waste and mess :(

Very disappointing. Onion and pepper flakes overpowered this dish to my taste, and I cut back on the onions. Thankfully I waited until late to put in the tomatoes as others recommended, and I put the fresh basil on when it was plated. Always fun to try new recipes though, and they all can’t be winners to everyone.

So you are disappointed. Perhaps next time you might try the recipe as written instead of criticizing your version.
