Homemade Arrabiata Spicy Italian Tomato Sauce Recipe (video)
We grew a couple of different hot peppers in our balcony container garden this year; Padron peppers, serrano peppers, and Ho Chi Minh cayenne peppers. For this recipe, we used some of our ripe red padron peppers and roasted them to make hot and spicy arrabiata sauce! This is a super simple sauce that includes tomato, hot peppers, onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and olive oil. We used it on some beautiful locally produced cheese ravioli, but you can use arrabiata on pizza, or any number of other pastas that will hold a tomato sauce well.
Ours came out quite spicy. Padrons are supposed to be about as hot or maybe a tiny bit hotter than jalapenos, but we find that ours are a little hotter than that. If you want to make sure it's less spicy, you can use a lower Scoville pepper like Hatch or Shepherd peppers, or some "suntanned" red poblano peppers. Alternately, if you want to go the other way and make it really hot and spicy, you can add serrano peppers, or even habanero, scorpion, or ghost peppers! Careful, though: that is going to be a *very* spicy sauce.
