Made this last night, and apart from downsizing quantities to half the recipe, made one change.... I didn't have chicken livers, so used shrimp instead. Oh, and I added a thinly sliced red pepper. I can assure you, excellent, a well-flavoured tomato sauce, rich with the addition of the red wine, cooked down well in the time stated. I used frozen shrimp, and added them in the last ten minutes or so of cooking, serving as soon as they were ready. I actually had a bit left over, which I had for lunch today, excellent :D I served over spaghetti for an excellent supper, thank you Larry! Made for PAC Fall 2008
