I used 1 tablespoon basil and left the cream the same as in the recipe. I added about 1/4 teaspoon sugar into the sauce to take away the acidity, and it was a great tasting sauce that we ate and enjoyed very much over linguine with meatballs.

Really great sauce, I'll make it again but with a few changes, I'll reduce the amount of basil to 1 teaspoon, and reduce the cream amount, thank you for your recipe.

This is such an easy sauce to make and came together in no time. We loved the sauce and it was served atop some linguine. We had it with chicken fingers served with some of the sauce on top with Parmesan cheese and baked for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Great combo, great dinner!

Before getting on with the review,I'm so pleased to be the first one to rate this recipe.Except for making this in a large skillet the recipe was made exactly as it was written.And I must tell you, " This is the first time I've ever had a red sauce with heavy cream in it.After tasting, it seemed like it was too acidic tasting. So about a teaspoon of sugar was added and it just fine. I served this over pasta with Turkey Meatballs. Thank you for taking the time to post this recipe and, " Keep Smiling :) "
