I loved this. Made it for my husband and he loved it also. I did change it, I took out the mint and I replaced the sherry with the balsamic. Had no problems with the cheese melting, and the cheese where excellent for that dish.

Amazing. I made a few changes but can't remember them. I will add more to this review when I make it again! :)

I used balsalmic vinegar since I didn't have any sherry. The dish was pretty good. I have made it a few times since.

This turned out ok, but I'll add a lot more chees next time.

I would love to like this, but I can't. The cheese melted fine at first but as soon as I added the tomatoes, it all clumped back together. So I put it back on the stove to heat it up so the cheese would melt again. It was edible, but I didn't enjoy eating it. In fact, the leftovers are being thrown away. The cheese was still clumpy and it was pretty bland. I followed the recipe exactly. It seems like a waste of good tomatoes, basil and cheese.

I really liked this a lot, but I also played with some ideas that turned our really well. I don't like fontina cheese, so I used all asiago, which was great. Also, tomatoes in our area aren't very good, so I used plum tomatoes instead: they worked really well and were so sweet! I also added broiled shrimp at the end. I took another person's tip and substituted balsalmic vinegar instead of sherry. The mint was a great, unexpected addition, though!

LOVED this. I used homemade pasta, and we finished it all.

Quick, easy, showcases fresh tomatoes. Love it!

loved this recipe!! I did not use the mint or the sherry - instead I added a slash of balsamic vinegar. My Italian husband (whose mother is THE BEST COOK) loved this - as did all my guest. I will make this again and again. Very easy and YUMMMMMMMY!

This is our household favorite pasta dish! I always make it for guests, and everyone always wants the recipe. I read the other reviews, and don't let the cheese melting problem some people mention deter you from trying this delicious recipe. TIPS FOR GETTING THE CHEESE TO MELT: 1. Add cheese to pasta as soon as pasta is drained. 2. Use a stainless steel bowl when mixing the cheese with the pasta so the heat from the cooked pasta will be retained, aiding in a quicker melting process. 3. Use two forks and go back and forth in opposite directions right after adding the cheese. This helps to distribute the cheese more evenly.

I thought it was going to be incredible but it wasn't. The taste of the marinade was very tasty aside from having so much garlic it overpowers everything else. And I love garlic. I love fontina, but it was gross in this dish. The marinade changed to a strange garlicky liquid after it was added to hot pasta. It is beyond me why anyone would rate this 5 stars. It would be better if the herbs, garlic, and oil were pureed and the tomatoes were peeled, but that doesn't solve the problems that the sauce is too thin to coat the pasta and the globs of cheese sticking to everything,including a horrendous cleanup experience afterward. It stuck to the dishes like wax.

Really good and so easy! Skipped the mint & the sherry. Did use some lime juice and a little red wine vinegar. Also used fresh parmesan and feta. Chopped a little red onion in too. Will make all summer with homegrown basil and tomatoes.

I didn't have any fresh tomato's or basil, so I used 2 cans of the new Aylmers tomato's with olive oil and garlic and I used a TBSP of McCormicks Basil in a tube,otherwise followed the recipe as printed, the taste was wonderful. I did not drain the canned tomato's but allowed the pasta to absorb the excess juice before I served it. I also did not like the look of the cheese and found it made clean-up more difficult (the cheese really coated the forks etc), next time I am going to skip adding the cheese and just serve the pasta with a shaker of parmesan so that everyone can add their own at the table, also will have a shaker with red pepper flakes so that the teenagers can spice it up as much as they like. I think the parmesan will be sufficient for us without the 2 1/2 cups of fontina and asiago which really add a lot of calories not to mention expense.

My biggest problem was that the cheese (probably the fontina) didn't melt well. I kept tossing it but it ended up staying in some smaller "blobs." That's OK on a pizza but I didn't like it in this dish.

Refreshing and delicious!

This pasta is incredible. I made it for my mother over Christmas, and she went bonkers over it. I used Angel Hair pasta and about 3 cups of shredded asiago & fontina cheese. I also made the marinade and let it set the day before I made it. TRY THIS RECIPE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I could live off of this stuff.
