My family did not care for this recipe at all. It was extremely spicy, and I only used 1 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper flakes. Also, way too much tomato - I would cut the amount of tomato paste in half. Cooking this on "high" for 4 hours practically burned it and made the vegetables turn to mush. Reduce the setting on the crockpot to "medium" and add the spinach for the last two hours of cooking only.
