SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE



Spicy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce image

Medium-spicy flavor, tangy tomato taste (only for real sun-dried tomato lovers) and a bright, sweetish accent from the touch of orange and cinnamon. Use the best sun-dried tomatoes for this recipe. Try it on pasta (I suggest about 1/2 cup per 4 ounces pasta) with parmesan cheese or crumbled feta or toss with beans. It would also make a terrific pizza sauce. This recipe is easily halved and the sauce can be frozen. From Angelica's Home Kitchen in NYC, voted 2006 best vegetarian restaurant.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound penne pasta
1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup piquillo peppers, drained
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons red chili sauce, such as sambal olek
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons European-style full-fat butter, softened
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions.

With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of pasta water.

Stir together, adding more pesto as desired, or more pasta water to reach the desired consistency. Grate more cheese over the pasta and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately.
  • Extra pesto, placed in an airtight container and topped with a layer of olive oil, will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Yield Makes (4 main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup whipping cream
1 7.25-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 pound penne pasta
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, cream, red peppers and crushed red pepper; simmer over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup basil and simmer 1 minute longer.
  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot. Add sauce, cheese and 1/2 cup basil and toss to coat. Add enough reserved cooking liquid to pasta to moisten if dry. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sun-dried tomatoes that are plump and moist, and feta cheese that is creamy and tangy.
  • If you don't have time to roast your own tomatoes, you can use store-bought sun-dried tomatoes. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using to rehydrate them.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can use another type of soft, salty cheese, such as goat cheese or ricotta salata.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce for a little extra heat.
  • Serve the sauce over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dip for bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This spicy sun-dried tomato and feta sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meals, give this sauce a try!
