Arrabbiata Sauce Recipe

    6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Hot Italian Sausage
  • 2 Dried Red Chilis, minced (seeds removed for a less spicy sauce)
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Tomato Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese, optional
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves, packed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, more to taste
  • 1 pound Fettuccine, cooked to al dente
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

  1. In a large sauté pan, brown the sausage. Remove the browned sausage, leaving behind the oil. Cook the chilies and the onion in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Once the onion is cooked, add in the garlic and stir. Add in the tomato sauce and the diced tomatoes and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Add the sausage back in, along with the ricotta, parsley, the basil, and the salt. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until sausage is hot and the basil is wilted.
  3. Stir in the cooked pasta. Top with grated parmesan just before serving. 

Notes

  • If you find there's not enough residual oil to cook the onions and chilies, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat before cooking them.
