Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (28 ounces / 794 grams) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) black pepper
Herbs:
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat until it shimmers with a gentle shimmer.
- Introduce minced garlic and fiery red pepper flakes, gently swirling for 60 seconds until an aromatic fragrance emerges and the pepper flakes dance with intensity.
- Pour crushed tomatoes into the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper, then coax the mixture to a gentle, bubbling simmer.
- Allow the sauce to harmonize and reduce, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes at a low temperature, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and ensure even thickness.
- Once the sauce reaches a rich, slightly thickened consistency, remove from heat and fold in vibrant, freshly chopped parsley, infusing a final layer of brightness.
- Lavish the aromatic sauce over your favorite pasta, creating a spicy, rustic Italian-inspired masterpiece ready to delight the palate.
Notes
- Dial down the heat by reducing red pepper flakes for a milder version perfect for sensitive palates.
- Enhance the sauce’s depth by adding a splash of red wine during simmering for complex, rich flavors.
- Boost nutrition by incorporating finely chopped vegetables like zucchini or spinach during the tomato simmering stage.
- Transform into a protein-packed meal by stirring in cooked shredded chicken or crumbled plant-based ground meat before serving.
