Spicy Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce Recipes

ITALIAN ARRABBIATA SAUCE (SUGO ALL'ARRABBIATA)

Steps:

• Sauté garlic: in a large pot, heat oil on LOW, and sauté minced garlic for 30-60 seconds. Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
• Add tomatoes & simmer: Then add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer on LOW heat for 3 or more hours - stir every so often.
• For smooth sauce: when sauce is finished cooking, use a hand immersion-blender to puree. Or blend sauce in batches in a high-powered blender or food processor. Note: If you prefer a chunkier/thicker sauce (like I do), you can skip this step as the San Marzanos naturally break down while cooking.
• Add fresh herbs before serving: when sauce is finished add chopped basil and oregano, stir into sauce. Taste sauce, adjust level of heat if desired, then serve!

SPICY ARRABIATA PENNE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add kosher salt to the boiling water, then add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, about 9 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat until the oil starts to shimmer. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, red chile flakes, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chopped basil.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Garnish with Parmigiano-Reggiano flakes and more basil and serve warm.

SPICY PENNE ARRABBIATA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil.
• Add the onion and peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes or until soft.
• Add the garlic and pepper flakes; stir to coat. Cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add the diced tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and hot soppressata. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, prepare your noodles according to the packaging instructions. Drain, but reserve about a cup (240 mof the pasta water. Stir a half cup (120 mof the pasta water into the sauce to loosen it up. Stir in more pasta water, if needed.
• Stir in the noodles, then garnish with fresh chopped basil and extra crushed red pepper. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve.

SPAGHETTI ARRABBIATA ('ANGRY' PASTA SAUCE)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook gently on a low/medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until starting to soften, stirring regularly. You don't want the onion to colour too much, so turn down the heat and add a little extra oil if necessary.
• Once the onion is soft, add the garlic and chilli and cook for another minute. Again, you want to avoid getting any colour on the garlic.
• Next, add in the tinned tomatoes, bay leaf, and vegan balsamic vinegar (optional). If using plum tomatoes, break these apart with your spoon. Swirl a little water around the empty can and also add this to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook on a low heat.
• Once the sauce is simmering away, start cooking your pasta in salted boiling water (roughly 10 minutes - follow package instructions). As the pasta is cooking, add the odd spoonful of starchy pasta water to the sauce to maintain a nice consistency and prevent it from drying out.
• For a smoother final sauce, gently mash it using a potato masher to break down the tomatoes. Once you've done this (optional), add a small handful of chopped fresh parsley and stir in. Remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning to taste, adding any extra salt, pepper, chilli, or balsamic.
• Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and add to the pan with the arrabbiata sauce. Stir well to coat and serve with fresh parsley leaves and homemade vegan parmesan.
