Spicy Arrabbiata Sauce Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion

  chopped
• 1-2 spicy peppers of choice

  chopped (optional, for extra spicy - I recommend Calabrian chili or Fresno pepper)
• 4 cloves garlic

  crushed (or more to taste)
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

  or more to taste for extra spicy
• 3 14- ounce cans diced tomatoes

  San Marzano tomatoes are great, though you can use others - see the recipe notes - add 1 more can for saucier arrabbiata sauce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
• For Serving: Cooked pasta noodles, fresh chopped basil, extra red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, grated parmesan or romano cheese

Instructions

• 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat.
• 2 Add the onion and peppers (if using peppers). Cook for 5 minutes to soften.
• 3 Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 1 minute, or
  until fragrant.
• 4 Add the diced tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir,
  then reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, breaking apart the tomatoes as
  needed, until the tomato sauce has broken down and thickened to your preference.
• 5 Stir in the fresh chopped basil. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and red
  pepper flakes. Serve with pasta!
