Spicy Tomato Sauce (Sugo Arrabbiata) 400g Rodolfi

Sugo Arrabbiata, also known as Spicy Tomato Sauce, is a classic Italian sauce that adds a fiery kick to any dish. This sauce is traditionally made with simple ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and red chili peppers.

The key to a delicious Sugo Arrabbiata lies in the quality of the ingredients used. Ripe and juicy tomatoes are preferred, as they provide a rich and vibrant flavor to the sauce. Fresh garlic cloves are minced and sautéed in olive oil until fragrant, adding a savory element to the sauce.

The star ingredient of Sugo Arrabbiata is the red chili peppers, which give the sauce its signature spiciness. The peppers can be finely chopped or crushed, depending on the desired level of heat. The heat can be adjusted to personal preference by adding more or less chili peppers.

To make the sauce, the tomatoes are typically blanched, peeled, and then crushed or pureed. The tomato puree is then added to the sautéed garlic and chili peppers, and the sauce is simmered over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.

Sugo Arrabbiata is a versatile sauce that can be used in various dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with pasta, such as penne or spaghetti, and can be topped with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness. This spicy tomato sauce can also be used as a base for pizza, as a dipping sauce for bread, or as a condiment for grilled meats.
