I know it depends, but I am just curious what specifications others are using to run a simple site with a MS SQL Server back-end. What is recommended for the application, not the database?

Would have to agree with Joe, the recommended RAM for running the OS should be sufficient. However, when you start to use resource hungry tools like SQL Server I would always recommend adding at least 1 GB.

If you're not talking about the database, I would say that running a simple MVC web application you would just need enough RAM to run whatever Windows OS you plan on deploying it under. You shouldn't need any more than the recommended amount.
So for example, here are the Windows Server 2008 requirements.

You can run a simple MVC site on Windows XP with IIS 5.1 and SQL Server 2005 Express. Here are the system requirements for Windows XP.
RAM is so cheap now I would go with at least 2 GB.
