Whoa! I chose this recipe because it was 1)easy, and 2)had some interesting ingredients (brown sugar and lemon juice???). May I say, this is one of the best pasta sauces I've ever had. Followed the directions exactly, except three things. I used a 28 oz. can of whole Italian tomatoes and squeezed them in my hand to break them up in to the pan. To me, this makes the sauce much richer than by using diced. I didn't have any parsley, so substituted basil. I think it was even better that way! And finally, I didn't use all the red pepper - just slightly less so it wouldn't be too spicy. Mike, thanks for posting another wonderful recipe!
