PASTA WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Pasta with Spicy Tomato Sauce image

The sauce for this pantry pasta is a vegetarian take on arrabbiata and amatriciana sauces, two spicy tomato sauces from Southern Italy that include pancetta or guanciale. The authentic versions would call for grated Pecorino Romano cheese, but I've already broken with tradition here, so use either Pecorino of Parmesan.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small dried red chili pepper, crumbled, or 1/4 teaspon red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 2 teaspoons slivered fresh basil
1 pound penne, bucatini, pericatelli, or spaghetti
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta.
  • Pulse the chopped tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or pass through the medium blade of a food mill with their juice before you begin. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide nonstick skillet or saucepan and add the garlic and crumbled chili (or flakes). Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until the garlic is translucent and begins to smell fragrant, and add the tomatoes and their juice, salt, and oregano if using. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
  • When the pasta water comes to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook the pasta al dente, following the timing instructions on the package but checking a minute or two before the time on the package. When the pasta is done, transfer to the pan with the sauce, add the basil if using, and toss together over medium heat until it is well coated with the sauce. Add half the cheese, toss together and serve, passing the remaining cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Select the right tomatoes: Opt for ripe, flavorful tomatoes like Roma or San Marzano tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet or Dutch oven will provide ample space for the sauce to simmer and develop its flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with the tomatoes, as this can prevent them from caramelizing properly.
  • Simmer for depth of flavor: Simmer the sauce for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  • Adjust the heat level: Customize the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Enhance with herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Use quality pasta: Choose high-quality pasta made from durum wheat for the best cooking results.
  • Don't rinse the pasta: Avoid rinsing the cooked pasta, as this can remove the starch that helps the sauce adhere to it.

Conclusion:

Pasta with spicy tomato sauce is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side. With its combination of tangy tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and a touch of heat, this pasta dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
