Arrabbiata Sauce

  4.5 – 330 reviews  • Tomato

Due to the reduced dressing, this delectable, creamy coleslaw is kind to your waistline. The salad is nicely sweetened by the inclusion of apples (Granny Smith and Macintoshes are great!) and carrots.

No red wine vinegar or chilli flakes
Nicholas Jordan
Loved this. Few changes that I thought made it perfect: -No sugar -Sauteed mushrooms and cherry peppers with the onion and garlic
Amanda Johnson
This was very good and easy to make. I served it over ricotta gnocchi (recipe on this site).
Laura Adams
My family loved this recipe. I added crushed tomatoes for a smoother texture, more chili pepper flakes and zero sugar. It turned out so great that they requested it for dinner tonight
Ashley Thompson
Awesome sauce! No changes needed. Made with sweet Italian sausage and it was delicious!!! Will make again and again!
Scott Holmes
I didnt have any red wine so added some water
Dr. Christina Taylor
This is delicious. All it needs is salt. Served over penne pasta and chicken. Yum!
Kayla Wilson
I simmered the canned tomatoes, onions and garlic for about an hour then puréed the mix, because I prefer a smoother sauce. But that is the only change, and we loved this. Just the right amount of spicy for us. We served it over Italian sausage ravioli.
Sean Miles
This was really easy to make. I added a Italian hot pepper in the sauce to make it spicier. Perfect.

I always read reviews but this is my first. I don’t feel you can judge a recipe unless you make it exactly as stated. And I confess, I did make a few changes, but only after tasting…added a bit more garlic and basil because we like those flavors. Sauce was solid, I got just a bit worried at the end, tasted just a bit flat and I wanted to add salt, talked myself out of it knowing my pasta was salted and was adding parmesan on top…don’t add salt if you’ve properly salted your pasta and adding a salty cheese. My boyfriend who said he wouldn’t be able to eat it all, cleaned his plate and went in for one last spoonful of pasta. Thanks for the great recipe!

It seemed a bit dull tome
Benjamin Porter
Great sauce. I substituted one can of diced tomatoes for a can of rotel original. I also added a lot more cayenne pepper. Served it over grilled shrimp and air fryer potatoes. Very very good
Danielle Brown
We loved this! I reduced the sugar by half and used 1/2 of the red pepper flakes and subbed chili paste for the other half. It was the perfect spice level. We added homemade Italian sausage and cubed sopressatta. Yum!
Shawn Davidson
Quite good!
Melissa Mcclure
only change was I substituted agave for sugar. The sauce is full of flavor, thick and rich and I will absolutely make again.
Ricky Peterson
definately make it again
Scott Palmer
Great recipe…..have made it about half a dozen times. I have modified it slightly over time. The combination of the Crushed Red Pepper Flakes and Black Pepper a little too overwhelming so I go with just the Flakes. Second if using lemon concentrate the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice is too strong…I reduced that to 1/4 teaspoon. Lastly I like mine a little more smooth so a 50/50 mixture of Diced and Crushed peppers does the trick.
Mary Powers
This was a hit for us tonight, I made it with shrimp. Even the hubby wanted 2nds.
Melanie King
Very good. Very spicy. I’d probably half the red pepper flakes next time. I simmered for about an hour and that may have been too long. But hubby was late, so……

6.17.19 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/11839/arrabbiata-sauce/… I made three sauces tonight – this, Christine L’s Amatriciana, Chef John’s Spicy Sausage Ragu. All were good. This was the most spicy comparatively, mildly hot. E, 22, rated this second place, but thought it was too spicy. I liked it, but it wasn’t amazing. I omitted the lemon juice & subbed sauce for the tomatoes.
