Quick Spaghetti Arrabbiata

tomatoes

olive oil

shallot (minced)

garlic

tsp sugar

tsp chili powder (or 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes)

salt (adjust

thyme

basil leaves (chopped)

spaghetti (or bucatini)

Cut the tomatoes in halves and remove the core and seeds. Transfer the tomatoes to a blender and blend on high for 5-10 seconds or until almost smooth. You still want to keep some texture so do not blend for too long. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a medium size pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced shallots and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Next, add the puréed tomatoes, sugar, chili powder, salt, and dried thyme. Let simmer partially covered with a lid for 12-14 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Note: the sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon or spatula.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil leaves. Taste and adjust the saltiness to your liking. Cover to keep warm.

To cook the pasta: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add them to the sauce. Stir to coat the spaghetti with the arrabbiata sauce.

Serve immediately topped with fresh basil leaves, vegan parmesan, and/or red pepper flakes for extra spiciness!

We just got back from Italy and I was craving a simple fresh pasta dish and this hit the spot! I used half the sugar because I'm not use to cooking with sugar in tomato sauce and it was just right for me.

We made it again the other night.  It's really a great recipe.  We're retired, so not in the 'quick dinner on a worknight' crowd, but we were working late in the garden, and came in asking, "What's for dinner?"  Why not Tomas's Spaghetti recipe?  I can't get it on the table in 30 minutes like you do, but it's close.
I think it will be our 'go-to' recipe.  So much more interesting than sauce piled on top of noodles.
Thanks.

We made this a couple of nights ago and loved it.  My wife is heat-adverse, so the kick was just right for her:  I added a few red pepper flakes at table.
We thought it was a hair sweet but chalked that up to using home-grown tomatoes.  We'll cut back on the sugar, though next time.  And we will make it again.  Quick, easy, and full of flavor!
