UMBRIAN STYLE ARRABIATTA SAUCE
This is a regional Italian recipe for a "hot" pasta sauce - my favourite meatless tomato sauce. The addition of sweet pepper, ginger, and honey (traditional for that part of Italy) both complements and tempers the heat of the sauce. I prefer to make it with fresh hot peppers or paste, but I've included a "cheater" method using hot red pepper flakes. The addition of eggplant is also traditional, but optional - if you don't care for eggplant, just leave it out.

Steps:
- Put tomato puree in a heavy based pot to simmer, with the butter, ginger, and honey.
- In a small heavy saute pan, heat the oil, then add the hot chili (or paste or flakes).
- Add the garlic, sweet pepper, and tomato paste, and saute a few minutes, mashing mixture as you cook, being careful not to scorch it.
- Remove from heat and add to simmering tomatoes.
- Add oregano and basil, and taste for salt and black pepper.
- Also taste for heat quotient- if sauce isn't hot enough for your taste, add more hot chili now.
- Remember that the heat will temper a bit as the sauce cooks, and will be further diluted with the addition of the eggplant and pasta.
- Continue to simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours total cooking time.
- If using eggplant: Drain cubes after 30 minutes and rinse in colander.
- Lightly squeeze the cubes with your hands to remove moisture and pat dry with paper towel.
- Sprinkle some olive oil on your hands and toss the cubes, coating them with the oil- this initial coating helps prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil in the saute pan.
- Heat saute pan, add some oil to coat bottom, and add the whole garlic clove.
- When clove sizzles, swirl it in pan, and then add eggplant.
- Saute on high heat, tossing frequently, until golden.
- Add cooked eggplant to sauce in the final 15 minutes of cooking, along with the parlsey.
- Serve over cooked pasta.
ARRABIATTA SAUCE
This is a great favorite of anyone who loves spicy sauces for pasta and can be made either vegetarian or with my way with a good Italian Pancetta. The ultimate way is to use fresh tomatoes and not canned but canned works as well to save time. The amount of herbs and hot pepper can be adjusted to your own tastes but this guideline is awesome.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best possible flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
- Use good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a more robust flavor and aroma. However, you can use a less expensive olive oil if you prefer.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste. Add more or less garlic, chili peppers, or herbs, depending on your preferences. You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. However, you can simmer the sauce for longer if you want a thicker, more concentrated flavor.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni are all good choices. You can also use the sauce on pizza, chicken, or fish.
