I followed some of the suggestions in the reviews and cut the spices in 1/2 and it was still way too spicy.

Very Very delicious! It's slightly spicy but nothing my 3 and 6 year old can't handle and they don't like spicy dishes at all.

Very Good. I halved all the herbs. Found some of them a bit much and you could still taste all of the herbs perfectly fine even though they were halved.

The recipe is perfect the way it is. If you need to cut down on the pepper, you must not be able to handle spicier food. Anyone who can, would like it the way it is. :P

Pretty good. Made as specified except cut down on all the spices by about 1/2, then adjusted at the end (also added 1 tsp or so of sugar at this point). This made a very thick sauce, needed a little more "sauce" in my opinion. Ended up adding about 1/2 cup of water or so before storing the leftover sauce. I would definitely make this again but would add some addt'l tomato sauce, water or wine to the sauce as it cooks. Thanks!

I learned this recipe long ago from my Best friend's mother who is Italian, it has exactly the same ingredients but as many of reviewers mentioned, my original recipe uses 1/3 of the spices. I have to add that this is one of my husband's favorites.

Very tasty! But I definitely advise cutting all the spices in half, and use only 1 tsp. of pepper. I added mushrooms and black olives because I like my sauce chunky, and it turned out delicious!

Ok, I got rid of the tomato sauce altogether and used double the tomato paste. I used 1 tablespoon of Italian Seasoning and 1 tablespoon of Oregano in place of all the other seasonings (too much spice otherwise). To give it more of a "rich" flavor I added one cup of red wine (Merlot, Cab, whatever you got). This removes a lot of the tomato-y (sp?) taste and gives the sauce a deep rich flavor and taste. The end result is a sauce that will go well on any pasta. No disrespect to the writer, I just put my .02 in the recipe.

I just made this sauce for the first time. It is excellent. I followed the recipe to the letter, however was somewhat short on onion. The first person who rated this must have done something wrong as I have had no complaints what so ever.

I'm glad I read the reviews before I made this. I also halved the spices, and the pepper I kept to 1 tsp. Otherwise this was a great recipe, and would probably work very well as the sauce for a meatball sub. I liked that it was fast, simple, and tasty.

This recipe would have been terrible if I would have put all the spices that it called for in. So I halved the spices and made it vegetarian to make it less expensive and it turned out fabulous. I made it for the whole office and all 12 people said it was the best sauce they ever had

This recipe was very quick! And very tasty! It can be made vegetarian too. I added an extra clove or two of garlic and a 1/4 cup of red wine. But use your best judgement on the amount of pepper and/or herbs added. I halved the amount and added more to taste. Delish!

Either there was a serious misprint on this recipe, or I was naive enough to fall for a joke. This gives new meaning to "Thats-a spicey sauce!" Even though I kept the teaspoons of pepper very scant, the recipe ended up totally inedible.
