@Felthry

I've been meaning to try that based on the Adam Ragusea video.

@Tathar It's pretty good! jalapeños are a bit of a weird choice for an italian recipe but i'm not sure what peppers would work better

serranos might be a little more suited

but jalapeños work fine

Honestly, I'd take some creative liberties with the recipe anyway. Recipe authenticity isn't something I value relative to my sensory diet.

re: food 

@Tathar we did too, mostly for convenience. used some canned tomato sauce instead of pureeing tomatoes, and canned jalapeños too (easily found in the mexican section)

I'd probably go with a fresh jalapeño instead, but only because it would be easier for me to work with than canned. But I'd also consider trying it with some cayenne, white vinegar cooked down, and different long pastas other than spaghetti.

re: food 

@Tathar I was thinking it'd be interesting to try with bucatini

@Tathar actually we would have tried it with bucatini, but our local grocery store didn't have any
