For an even smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to purée the sauce before adding the mascarpone. If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute it with cream cheese or heavy cream, but the flavor will be slightly different. Adjust the amount of red chile pepper to your preference for spiciness. You can also use a pinch of red pepper flakes if you don't have fresh chile pepper. Fresh herbs always elevate the dish. Consider adding a sprig of oregano or thyme during the simmering process for an extra layer of flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, sugar) as needed.
