This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch. I usually add a bit of chili flakes for a little spice, and I also like to top the dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I added a little bit of water to thin it out, and it was perfect. The flavors were still bold and flavorful, but the sauce was lighter and easier to eat.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a particularly acidic tomato sauce. Next time, I'll try using a sweeter sauce to balance out the flavors.
