For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce along with the crushed tomatoes. Adjust the amount of hot cherry peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as mushrooms or black olives. Fresh basil leaves, chopped, can also be added during the last step to provide a brighter flavor.
