PATRICK'S ARRABIATA SAUCE



Patrick's Arrabiata Sauce image

A low-cost spicy sauce with strong flavours and a silky texture. It does take a little time to make but the quantities yield 8 servings so that you can refrigerate or freeze the rest. Works great with dried pasta! It is the outcome of three years of trial and error, and I feel like I no longer need to experiment with the ingredients and method. If you're looking for a basic sauce which will allow for the taste of fresh pasta to be more up front, then this sauce might not be for you. To be served on a bed of your favourite pasta, topped with a few fresh basil leaves.

UMBRIAN STYLE ARRABIATTA SAUCE



Umbrian Style Arrabiatta Sauce image

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.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups good quality canned tomatoes or 4 cups jarred italian tomato puree
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced or 1 teaspoon fresh ginger paste
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 -2 tablespoon fresh hot chili paste or 1 tablespoon red chili pepper flakes, soaked in 1 tbs boiling water for 10 minutes (more or less to taste)
2 cloves garlic, chopped or pureed
1 sweet roasted red pepper, mashed or pureed (from jar is okay)
1 tablespoon tomato paste or 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato paste
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 -2 tablespoon fresh basil, minced
1 lb eggplant, peeled and cubed into bite sized pieces,soaked in water to cover with 2 tsp salt for 30 minutes (put plate on top to keep eggplant submerged)
1 clove garlic, whole (for eggplant saute)
additional oil (for eggplant saute)
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley, minced
1 lb penne or 1 lb other pastas, cooked al dente

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



Arrabiatta Sauce image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 large tomatoes, ripe or 2 (28 ounce) cans canned tomatoes
5 long hot red chili peppers, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
10 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
3 ounces pancetta
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon unbleached cane sugar
1 tablespoon oregano
3 tablespoons fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 cup fresh parsley
3/4 cup red wine

Steps:

  • in boiling pot of water place tomatoes for a few minutes to loosen skins.
  • Peel skins from tomatoes and discard boiling water,.
  • In a stock pot place skinned tomatoes or (canned) to boil with 1/4 cup olive oil and 5 cloves of garlic and bring to a boil add the sugar, salt, pepper and herbs and continue to boil (crush tomatoes with potato masher after 45 min).
  • In a separate fry pan place 3 tablespoons of olive oil and pancetta until fat is melted.
  • T.
  • hen add the onion until sweated then add 5 cloves of garlic
  • Add red pepper and hot pepper and fry 3-4 minutes with onion and garlic.
  • add red wine and simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes and then add to the tomato and boil for 10 minutes.
  • add the lemon juice and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
  • Use your favorite pasta (penne or spaghettini are my faves).

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a delicious sauce. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmers market.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them enough space so they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the tomatoes will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the tomatoes until they're caramelized. This will give the sauce a deep, rich flavor. Cook the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes, or until they're starting to turn brown.
  • Use good quality olive oil. Olive oil is an important ingredient in this sauce, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Add the chili peppers sparingly. Arrabbiata sauce is supposed to be spicy, but you can adjust the heat level to your liking. Start with a small amount of chili peppers and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Umbrian-style arrabbiata sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a dipping sauce. 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 weeknight meal, give this sauce a try!
