This sauce is best suited for use in another recipe (such as for spaghetti sauce) and not just put on pasta as-is. The fresh basil was nice in this -love basil and tomato together- recommend garden fresh tomatoes in this as they are THE most important item in this recipe. A touch of balsamic would be a great addition as well I don't understand the egg in this? It changed the pretty red sauce to a murky color. I think it may be better without.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
