Very easy. A little too oily for my taste, so I cut out a little bit.

This is the best pasta sauce I have ever made-thanks much for the recipe. I made it as directed only without the capers (didn't have any) but still is excellent. Next time I'll use the capers - I just can't imagine how to improve it- you gotta try it. Thanks again.

Excellent recipe.Made just two changes,added a pinch of ground basil, and plumped up the sun-dried tomatoes with a 1/2 cup of dry red wine.Served it over thin pasta.

Very good. The whole family liked this. Omitted the olives as I didn't have olives and my hubby doesn't like them. Added a splash of red wine vinegar.

This was a quick/easy sauce to make up! I added abit of red wine into the sauce/along with a few heaping spoonfuls of chopped canned tomatoes/abit of basil/fennel and it was AMAZING! I did add abit more crushed red pepper then asked for, as I like abit of heat. This is something I could easily make up on my sailboat for a quick meal - and not just at home!

This was too hot. I think I am pretty tolerant of spicy foods but this was just too dog-goned hot! I would cut the pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp. & then it might be good.

I would rate this 5 stars except it was a bit too spicy for me. Next time I will halve the amount of crushed red pepper. My nose and eyes were running! I felt bad feeding this to my mother who has trouble with spicy foods. But the flavor was great and the ingredients are all on hand so I will try again. It didn't look like this would be enough for 4, but it really was. Alongside I cooked an entire box of whole wheat penne (also for 4) and the amounts were perfect.

I'm in the minority here as we found this to be inedible. Left a bad aftertaste in the mouth. I had such high hopes as I love all of the ingredients in this recipe. Thank you for letting me try!
