My husband LOVES this recipe and requests it more than any other. I make a whole wheat pizza dough, use creamy natural peanut butter (sometimes I add chopped unsalted peanuts - depends what is in the pantry) and use a bit less red pepper than called for, otherwise made as is. DON'T LET THE 'RUNNY' FACTOR ON THE SAUCE SCARE YOU - it works!01/11/10

This is very very good. My wife is very picky and she kept wanting more pieces...my daughter thought it slightly spicy but my wife disagreed saying it would be too sweet otherwise. I did use the 3/4 teaspoon of pepper flakes, to take from that what you will.
At first I was worried because it was pretty goopy on top, being the consistency of thick molasses or something like that, but the tast overcomes that. I used a boboli shell, btw.
Next time I would not put all of the sauce on the pizza. I think I would drain a little of the excess liquid off tomake it slightly less wet on top.
I only had smooth peanut butter and added some chopped peanuts and it was fine, probably better that way.
All in all, this is, what we like to say in my house, a keeper. Definitely going to make it again.09/05/09
