• Turn the heat for the sauce off, taste the sauce. If the sauce tastes a little bitter add sugar, if it isn't spicy enough add more red or cayenne pepper to your liking. I am a spice addict so I have toned the spiciness of this recipe down a bit.
• When pasta is cooked, strain it and place in large bowl and stir in some olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Serve sauce over pasta with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Asiago cheese.
