I prefer my sauce a little more "saucy" so next time I may throw in some tomato paste or cornstarch to thicken it up a bit. Excellent flavors though. I did sub chili pepper flakes for the fresh chili (availability). Will use tonight. Dinner will be a chicken breast with black olive pasta sauce served atop creamy cheese polenta. YUM

Mmmm, this was really good and so simple to prepare. I used some quartered cherry tomatoes because the local store didn't have plum tomatoes and because I like quite a lot of sauce on my pasta treated this as a "serves 2". It's so tasty if serving four you probably want to double up on the quantities! I used a nice hot chili which gave it a great tang for anyone that likes a bit of spice.
