Greece Style Arrabiata Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes.
• Stir in wine, sugar, basil, red pepper, tomato paste, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered about 15 minutes.
• Stir in parsley. Ladle over the hot cooked pasta of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat 2 or 3 tbsp of olive oil in a tall pan, add the dried oregano and thyme, chopped garlic and crushed chilli peppers. Fry for few minutes. Don't let the garlic turn brown.
• Add the tin of cherry tomatoes into the pan. Simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes and let the excess water evaporate.
• Reduce the heat, cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally and crushing the tomatoes into the sauce.
• Add pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Add both dried and fresh basil; 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Stir.
• In the meantime, cook the penne according to the packet instructions.
• Mix the pasta with sauce and garnish with fresh basil leaves and handful of grated parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a saucepan and fry the garlic over a medium heat for 1-2 mins until fragrant, but not browned. Add the chilli, fry for another minute, then add the tomatoes along with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp sugar. Stir well to combine the ingredients and simmer gently for 20 mins, stirring regularly. The sauce will thicken slowly as it cooks.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve stirred through pasta, or blend it first to create a smoother sauce if you prefer. Will keep chilled for up to five days.
