I am one of those ones that is a little hesitant to try the recipes that have not been rated by many people but I am so glad that I did with this one. It was wonderful! A great blend of hot and sweet. I lessened the brown sugar to about 1/2 cup and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this one again.

Haven't yet gone food shopping I didn't have much on hand this afternoon but an abundance of pasta and no ready-made sauce in a jar. I looked at the can of crushed tomatoes I had in the cupboard for months with the intent of making my own sauce and was finally forced to take the challenge...so glad I did. This was the absolute best sauce I've ever tasted!! I won't go back to jarred. I only required 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Suggestion: only use 1 TBS oilve oil - 2 made a film of oil around the end that just wouldn't encorporate into the sauce. Quick and Delicious!! Thanks Bryan!!!

This spicy and sweet sauce is perfect with penne pasta. The sauce was quick and easy to make, but tasted fabulous!

Wonderful! I felt it was wonderful because I wanted to make something delicious with what i had in my kitchen that day (which was not much). And this was perfect! My boyfriend, who dislikes pasta, ate a whole serving, and then some!

This was easy to make and put a nice little spin on regular tomato sauce. I put extra crushed chile peppers (closer to a full Tablespoon) in it because my husband and I like hot things. It was a little too hot so next time I think I will stick to the recipe. Someone else said that the brown sugar made it too sweet but I didn't think so. I browned some ground turkey and added that. I'll make this again.

FANTASTIC! It was the perfect blend of sweet and hot. The longer it simmered on the stove the hotter it got. Next time we won't let it simmer quite so long.

Excellent sauce! the receipe calls for 3/4cups of brown sugar. I put in less than half of that and it was still a little too sweet. Otherwise, very tasty!
