Arrabiata Recipe

[kjt96]

We were recently in DR and had "arrabiatta" sauce on pasta. It was delicious and I would like to make it at home. The one we had was a smooth tomato sauce with a hot, peppery flavor.
Does anyone have a recipe for this sauce? Thank you!

Saute one diced onion and two cloves of minced garlic in a pot with about 3 tbls. of olive oil. When soft add one 28 oz can of Italian plum tomatoes that have been seived or put through a blender.
Add crushed or fresh red chili pepper until desired 'heat' is reached (start off with a little and add as the sauce cooks until it is hot enough for you - I make mine 'al diavolo' instead of 'arrabiata'). Arrabiata means 'angry' while al diavolo means 'as the devil' (or hot as hades!)
Cook over medium heat, adding salt and pepper to taste, until thick.

Add basil (dried or fresh) about two minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese.

Serve over pasta (spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, tagliatelli, etc).

Enjoy with a glass of red wine and garlic bread!!

You're welcome!!

Can't for the life of me remember what it's called with the olives and capers not being from Italy myself but when PapaTony gets home from work I'll ask if it hasn't come to me by then. He might remember.
Mayby AnnaC can pipe in here with the name. She might also know........
