Has anyone made this and substituted cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half added later in the cooking time for the sundried ones? I'm doing that tonite and just wondered.
 
Nope - haven't done that, but when I make it I ALWAYS do the Morrocan Rub variation.
I LOVE it!
I think I'll make it tonight. YUM!! :D
 
I have only made it with sun-dried tomatoes too, but I think I would like to try the fresh tomatoes instead. And I like the Morrocan spice idea...I'll have to try that!
 
I always use cherry tomatoes, thus I sell many tomatoe knifes. The cherry tomatoes are much cleaner for the guest to cut and they taste great! You can pick them up for under $2.00.

Thanks guys! I'm also adding some cooked chicken.
 
So it tastes ok with the fresh tomatoes? I'm not used to Sundried tomatoes and I wasn't really sure if I liked it or not. I'm not a huge tomato fan anyway...but I think I might like fresh instead..
 
I don't use tomatoes at all (not a big fan of the taste of either in it), just cut up a bunch of baby carrots. I use are garlic oil for the sauteing.

Mine turned out great. I added half the garlic- we don't like alot. And a bunch of halved grape tomatoes about 5 minutes from the end. It was very good. I loved the fact that you cook the pasta right in the same pot and don't have to drain.
 
LOL. We double the garlic!! :D
