Homemade Arrabbiata Sauce With Zucchini The Only Tomato Sauce Youll Ever Need Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes.
• Stir in wine, sugar, basil, red pepper, tomato paste, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered about 15 minutes.
• Stir in parsley. Ladle over the hot cooked pasta of your choice.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Sprinkle in a little bit of salt. Using a knife, cut an X into the end of each tomato. In a large bowl, add water and ice. Place a few tomatoes into the boiling water for about 1 minute or until you see the skins begin to peel off ever so slightly. Remove them with a slotted spoon, and place in ice water for another minute or until cool. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Once the tomatoes are cool, remove from ice water and use your fingers to remove the skin by simply peeling it back from the X you created. Then slice and chop the tomatoes and place into another large bowl until ready to cook. In a large dutch oven or casserole pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions become translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Then add celery, carrots, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper; saute until veggies are softened. Next add the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and chili pepper flakes and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about one hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so. During the last 15 minutes stir in zucchini. After sauce is done (the zucchini should be al dente), remove from heat and transfer half of the sauce to a blender or food processor. Try not to get the zucchini in the sauce you're about to blend. Blend/process until smooth then add the pureed sauce back to the pan. Season with more salt and pepper then serve immediately. Notes: If you'd like you can freeze the sauce for up to 2 months in an airtight plastic bag or container.

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a saucepan and fry the garlic over a medium heat for 1-2 mins until fragrant, but not browned. Add the chilli, fry for another minute, then add the tomatoes along with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp sugar. Stir well to combine the ingredients and simmer gently for 20 mins, stirring regularly. The sauce will thicken slowly as it cooks.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve stirred through pasta, or blend it first to create a smoother sauce if you prefer. Will keep chilled for up to five days.
