Pasta Arrabbiata (Angry Pasta)
I learned how to make this while I was in Italy one summer. You can add more or less crushed red pepper...and decide how "angry" you would like your pasta.—Stacie Gomm, Providence, Utah

Turned out ok for a quick pasta recipe. I added sliced black olives to mine. About the 1 star review... What? This is a very simple sauce and none of these ingredients (alone or combined) should be bitter. My guess would be that you used a crappy brand of canned tomatoes. I'm a bit floored by the fact that you can't figure out what went wrong yourself with such a short and simple list of ingredients, and that you expected the author of the recipe to tell you how to fix it...
I followed this recipe exactly. Did not overcook the garlic. All ingredients were freshly bought. But the sauce is very bitter. Can I do anything to fix it?....It's now 4 days later and no response. I will now have to throw out the whole batch. What a piece of crap recipe!
