Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tablespoons olive oil
5-8 garlic cloves, minced
3-4 28 oz. canned San Marzano tomatoes ((with juices))
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes ((adjust to desired level of spiciness))
1/2 teaspoon (each) salt & black pepper
2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped ((or 2 teaspoons dried basil))
1-2 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped ((or 1 teaspoon dried oregano))

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!

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but make sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from splattering and will also help to develop its flavor.
  • Add the pasta water: When you're adding the pasta to the sauce, reserve some of the pasta water. You can then add this water to the sauce to help it thin out and make it more flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish your arrabbiata sauce with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Arrabbiata sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It's a great way to add some spice and flavor to your next meal. Whether you're making it with fresh or canned tomatoes, be sure to follow the tips above to make the best arrabbiata sauce possible.
