Tips
For more authentic spice, use Scotch bonnet peppers.
Season the pasta water with fresh herbs and a habanero pepper for flavor.
Cook hot dogs until they have nice coloring, then remove and add back later.
Allow the sauce to cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes to develop flavor, stirring continuously.
Don't throw away pasta water; it adds flavor and thickens the sauce.
If you prefer crunchy vegetables, add half at the beginning and the rest in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
