Arrabiata

Note this recipe is almost identical to the Marinara, but with red pepper flakes
Ingredients
- 2 X 28 oz cans San Marzano Tomatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion minced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes + more to your taste buds
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- sea salt to taste
- 15 leaves basil torn
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pan over medium heat
- Add the chopped onion and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, until soft and translucent
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for a few seconds, just until fragrant (do not let it brown)
- Crush the tomatoes in a bowl with your hands, leaving some small chunks. Add them to the pan and bring to a simmer
- Add the bay leaf and partially cover the pan. Simmer on low for about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn, until thick and flavorful
- Turn off the heat. Season with sea salt to taste
- Stir in fresh basil and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
