Linguine with Easy Meat Sauce

This meal is perfect for a busy day. It came together in 16 minutes and we all enjoyed it, even our five year-old wanted seconds. For a quick dinner, it's perfect.

Quick, tasty....the family enjoyed it. Served with garlic bread and a salad.

This recipe was very ... safe. Used dried pasta instead of fresh and basil instead of parsley (hoping for more flavor). Very quick for a weeknight meal, but the flavors were flat. You kept waiting for extra flavors to hit you, and they didn't. Every bite with basil was great, but non-basil bites were mediocre.

solid weekday dinner - good sauce, added more parmesan and some garlic salt.

Substituted 1 lb diced fresh tomatoes. Had to cook covered for a few minutes longer so the tomatoes would release their juices, and added a splash of pasta water. Also used 1 lb dried pasta. Topped with a little parmesean and it was delicious!

This was tasty and easy! I sub'd ground turkey breast for the beef and left out the parsley. Eight pts!

Delicious & light in calories! The only suggestion I would give as my personal preference is to please be more specific when providing the yield serving.;) i.e.: 1 cup or 1/2 cup of pasta to 1 cup to 1/2 of cup of sauce,etc. Especially for all of us counting exact calories!;) Otherwise scrumptious!;) <3

this was a great quick weeknight meal. You need to make a couple of changes to make it more flavorful. First, i used 2/3 lb of meat and 2/3 cup onion, and 1 extra can of tomatoes so we would have leftovers for the next day. Then, I added a little more garlic, I doubled the oregano and also added dried thyme and basil as well. I then melted a little bit of fresh grated parmesan into the sauce, which gives it a nice smoky flavor and helps the texture of the sauce. I also used 4 tbsp of tomato paste instead of 3 and we used dried whole grain linguine. Sprinkle with lots of fresh basil (it's a must) and some more fresh grated parm and this was awesome. It feels great not having to rely on bottled pasta sauce for a change!

I like this recipe a lot. It's very easy. Mu husband is picky when it comes to tomatoes, so I've subbed the diced tomatoes for crushed and it's still really, really good. I usually add some basil or italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.

This was VERY good, but felt it was missing something. It took some time, but we finally figured it out! BASIL! It needs basil and maybe a little more salt. I used shrimp instead of ground beef and also added a little Italian seasoning because I love Italian seasoning! Will be making frequently!
