SUGO ALL'ARRABBIATA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet and EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) over medium heat
• Chop garlic cloves and add to pan once the oil starts to smoke
• Saute for 30 seconds or until the garlic is given off a strong aroma (DO NOT let the garlic burn! If it does, you will have to start all over!)
• Carefully add the the two 28 oz. cans to the skillet
• Add in the all seasonsings (salt, pepper, italian seasonings, red pepper flake) and stir together
• Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to med-low for 25-30 min, stirring occasionally
• Taste sauce after 30 min simmer and determine whether it needs more kosher salt
• ***IF the sauce is to acidic, add .25 teaspoon sugar and taste again, adding more if necessary
• ***IF the sauce is too sweet, add a tiny splash of balsamic vinegar
• Once the flavors have been adjusted and thickened up to your liking, take the sauce off of the heat, chiffonade the basil and stir into sauce
• Stir in noodles and drizzle each serving with EVOO, serve with Parmesano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano, if you would like to use cheese
• Buon Appetito!
