Basic Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, basil, marjoram and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; simmer gently, uncovered, until sauce thickens and measures 8 cups total, breaking up tomatoes with spoon and stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and beginning to colour.Add the garlic and chilli and continue to fry for 1-2 minutes
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes, red wine vinegar, tomato purée, a splash or two of Tabasco (to taste), sugar and half of the basil leaves, and stir well. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, then continue to simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced in volume.
• Just before serving, stir the crumbled mozzarella into the spicy tomato sauce. Stir the drained pasta into the sauce.
• To serve, divide the pasta and sauce equally among four serving plates. Sprinkle over the remaining torn basil leaves and the grated parmesan.

Steps:

• Blend the chillies, peppers, garlic, shallot and tomatoes in a food processor until smooth.
• Pour the purée into a stainless steel saucepan, add the sugar and vinegar, then bring to the boil, stirring from time to time. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40-60 mins until thick, stirring regularly, especially in the latter stages of cooking.
• Pour into large, warm sterilized jars then cool. This will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
