made BDL's recipe...added a leftover shallot, and only put about 5oz of wine (chianti) in....came out great..I loved the kick of the pepper flakes, and added just a TAD more. a little more garlic too.
one thing I'm noticing is that I'm whipping up things much faster and without thinking. I can read a basic recipe, and since I understand the steps a little better and understand what its going to taste like...don't usually have to look at it again....great feeling.
Perfect amount for a box of pasta too. I did use crushed tomatoes though.
