It's sweet and spicy. Excellent dish! And I'm not usually a sweet fan but it came out delicious!

Really great sauce recipe--as written, it made enough sauce to cover a whole 16 oz. box of rigatoni. I used 1 teaspoon dried basil instead of fresh and crushed tomatoes instead of diced. Also, the first time I ever had arrabbiata, it was made with pancetta, which was phenomenal. I made a somewhat bastardized version using bacon--I cooked six pieces of bacon until crispy and then sautéed the garlic and onion in the bacon grease. After about 10 minutes of simmering the sauce, I crumbled the bacon back in. This added a great salty note to the dish.

We really enjoyed this one. It was just enough for the three of us. And the nice thing about this recipe is, if you choose, you can add other ingredients and it doesn't take away from the original recipe.

I didn't much like this recipe. It didn't have a strong fresh tomato flavor, I think lots of the ingredients masked the tomato for me. I am sure for my liking it could be changed but then it wouldn't be this recipe. I gave it 2 stars because it was ok. I just wouldn't make it again.

This wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. It tasted sugary, and needed salt.

Delicious. added sliced black olives and a pound of Italian sausage. It is a bit thin so next time I'll thicken it up

I really liked this. All I did was add a bit more red pepper flakes. I like it spicy! Thank you for sharing!

We loved this. I used beef broth instead of the red wine and used one can red pepper tomatoes and once can of spicy red pepper tomatoes. I also added some green and red pepper and instead of tomato paste added some canned spaghetti meat flavored sauce. I browned garlic and veggies in oil and then cooked in the crockpot. Great!
