This dish is very, very yummy! It had the right amount of spiciness (I don't like SUPER spicy dishes). The fresh basil and parsley makes a HUGE difference (you MUST use fresh). I subbed crushed tomatoes (in my opinion it just tastes better with crushed - or a mixture of crushed / petite diced). Top servings of pasta with crumbled feta or goat cheese (yum!). If you want, omit the red pepper flakes alltogether for a more basic marinara sauce. The sauce pairs well with penne and warm bread (I like Pepperidge Farm's rosemary olive oil bread served with a little olive oil for dipping). Yummy!!!

I added mushrooms at the first step. Delicious! Hubby says "make it every week!"

This sauce was a little too thick for me...but had a good spicy flavor. I will probably look for a different recipe next time.

This recipe was awesome. We also added some spicy Italian sausage and some shrimp. We served it over Angel Hair Pasta and it was delicious. It was also fairly simple.

this sauce was delicious. i added more red pepper flakes for extra hot. i also added fresh parmesan in while the sauce was simmering instead of sprinkling it on later, just to thicken the sauce a bit. i also let it simmer for longer to really let the flavours mix. lovely! it is especially delicious over spaghetti squash.

I thought this recipe was great. I did a few things different. Instead of using oil, i just used cooking spray. I also added chopped red and green bell peppers to it. Delicious!!

This recipe has a fantastic flavor and is as spicy as the name suggests. I've made it several times and it never fails to impress. It may not be the traditional preparation but it's excellent as it is.

I found this recipe on this site a number of years ago and it is my favourite quick sauce recipe. I also make it in big batches and can it. It is awesome! I've added shrimp on occasion which makes a nice change. I also use this sauce on my homemade pizza.

I found that the more wine I added the richer it asted. I also added (for my dad) some hot italian sausage to the mix. It made it heartier for him. I find that you can add more sugar as well when you are adding more wine. I had a few friends say the way I made it, that it was better than candy!

We ran it through the blender and added cream, now we make it once a week. My fiance that doesn't like pasta sauce in general or if he does use pasta sauce he puts a little bit on - with this he pours it on thick and mixes the whole bowl through to get as much sauce exposure as possib.e. It can get really spicy fast, so watch the red pepper. This is a household favorite now.

I made this sauce on New Year's eve and reheated it on New Year's Day to serve to our relatives. I tripled the recipe because we like a lot of sauce on our penne pasta. It was just enough to serve 10. I did not have the Italian Seasonings so I used an olive oil infused with garlic and basil to saute the onions and garlic. Overall, a hit...but too spicy for my father-in-law. But he thinks that ketchup is spicy! A great quick homemade sauce.

Excellent. I love it! It's not too spicy and the fresh herbs really make the difference. I have tried several recipes for arrabiata sauce and the others all left something lacking. This one is perfect because you can still taste everything else! I loved it and so did my husband. One small tip: to prevent heartburn add extra sugar!

This was pretty good. Not great, just good. I think it'd really benefit from some chopped olives, maybe a bit more basil.
