How to Make Umbrian Style Arrabiatta Sauce

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.
  6. Simmer the sauce for at least 45 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes depending on your preference.
  8. Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves (if using).
  9. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti or bucatini.
