So simple, fresh and delicious. Will definitely make again - I think this will be my go-to Arrabiata recipe!

This was "okay". I will say that I just started cooking, but I DID follow the recipe and I'm not sure what all the raves were about. I thought it was bland. I added some sugar and parmesan cheese and that improved it, but the sauce itself is nothing to write home about.

I was looking for something easy to make with some pantry items I had on hand. This definitely fit the bill. It was quick and easy. I used it on some frozen 4 cheese raviolis I had and it tasted delicious!

This recipe was so awesome!!! I added a dash of cayenne pepper b/c I love everything spicy. Next time I'll add some ground beef. Thanks for submitting!

This sauce is simple and delicious. I used 2 jars of strained tomatoes and the added a chopped tomato for a little texture! It turned out great! I used homemade dried chili which intensified the hot! I made it with Rigatoni and my Italian husband thought his mom made it!!! Absolutely divine!

I made this as written, and it was not to my liking. It was very acidic and bland. First thing, it needed sugar - something to tone down the acidic taste. I added about 1.5 tsp, and that was not enough. And it had no spiciness to it at all. I'm very confused by that given many of the reviews stated it was too spicy, and I'm kind of a spice weenie. I don't know if my red pepper flakes were too old or a bad brand or something. I don't know what else it would need to redeem it, but I would start with an entirely different recipe.

This is the first time I have made my own sauce and I thought it turned out really well. I didn't have basil so i used some cilantro and parsley, and instead of red pepper flakes I used spicy sea salt which consists partly of red hot chili peppers. I loved the kick it had without being super spicy, and over fusilli noodles it tasted great!

Great! If you use a can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced, they will break up a bit more when cooking and you can eliminate the hand blender. Super Tasty.

It was great, but I was not prepared for the spiciness. I added much less than ordered to, and still it was far too spicy. Without the red pepper flakes, it would have been a five
