Delicious! Added hot Italian sausage for added protein; served with a green salad. BOOM!
This recipe is the closest thing to chef driven arabiotta! My garden basil worked wonders in this fabulous blending of flavors. Be sure to add the chopped basil after removing the sauce from the heat. I slipped, added it too soon. It still worked well, but would have been more aromatic at the end, especially as a green garnish. Not difficult to prepare, absolutely delicious for lunch or dinner. Buon appetito!
This is another super easy recipe we make a lot. It’s easy to make on vacations if you can get your hands on the tomatoes. Also great for meatless Mondays.
So easy & so delicious!
Add 4-5 spicy Italian sausages and you’ve got an AMAZING recipe right here!! We make it regularly in our house.
This was tasty enough but I found the sauce to be too thin. It didn’t really coat the penne. I almost wanted to add a jar of Rao’s arrabiata sauce.
Easy , delicious and Family favorite! Pomi box tomato’s are perfection!
Enjoyed making this recipe. Added 1/4 cup red onion sautéed in the olive oil along with garlic and spices to bring up flavors. Simmered sauce about 15 minutes and then partially pureed with an immersion blender. I like a smoother sauce with a few lumps. Used Muir Glen tomatoes and they are okay but not very sweet so added 1/2 tsp sugar to mellow.
We made this for dinner tonight, and I am blown away at how easy it was to prepare and how fantastic it tastes. It will be added to our weekly rotation.
