What is Arrabbiata Sauce?

Arrabbiata sauce is a spicy tomato-based sauce that originated in Italy. The word "arrabbiata" actually means angry, which refers to the spiciness of the sauce. The flavors of arrabbiata sauce are typically associated with Southern Italy, particularly the regions of Lazio, Abruzzo, and Molise.
The Ingredients of Arrabbiata Sauce
The traditional ingredients of arrabbiata sauce include tomatoes, garlic, chili peppers, olive oil, and salt. Some variations may also include onions, white wine, and herbs such as parsley or basil. What sets arrabbiata sauce apart from other tomato-based sauces is the inclusion of hot chili peppers, which give the sauce its signature spicy kick.

Zucchini Noodles- A Healthy Substitute for Pasta

Zucchini noodles are simply thin strips of zucchini that are used in place of pasta in various dishes. Zucchini noodles are a great way to enjoy your favorite pasta dishes while still maintaining a healthy diet.
Benefits of Zucchini Noodles

Making arrabbiata sauce with zucchini noodles is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta dishes. For those who are looking for a low-carb or gluten-free option, this recipe is perfect. However, there are tips that must be considered when making this dish to ensure that it is not only healthy but also flavorful. In this article, we will share valuable tips to consider when making arrabbiata sauce with zucchini noodles.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Zucchini

The key to making delicious zucchini noodles is choosing the right zucchini. It is recommended to choose medium-sized zucchini that is firm and not too soft. Avoid using zucchini that is too large or has a lot of seeds as it can make the noodles mushy.

Tip 2: Invest in a Spiralizer

To create the perfect zucchini noodles, invest in a spiralizer. This kitchen gadget makes it easy to create long and thin noodles, similar to spaghetti. There are several types of spiralizers available in the market. Choose a hand-cranked one, a manual one or an electric one depending on your preference.

Tip 3: Salt the Zucchini Noodles

After spiralizing the zucchini, sprinkle salt on the noodles, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. This step helps to draw out the water content of the zucchini, resulting in firmer and less soggy noodles. Rinse the noodles thoroughly in cold water and then squeeze out excess water using a paper towel or a clean cloth to remove any remaining salt.

Tip 4: Use High-Quality Tomatoes

The key to a flavorful arrabbiata sauce is using high-quality tomatoes. Choose fresh and ripe tomatoes, preferably San Marzano plum tomatoes, which are known for their sweet and tangy flavor. Alternatively, use canned tomatoes that are of high quality, preferably imported. Avoid using tomatoes that are too watery or overripe as they can result in a flat sauce.

Tip 5: Don’t Skimp on Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes

Arrabbiata sauce is traditionally made with garlic and red pepper flakes, and these two ingredients are essential for a delicious sauce. It is recommended to use fresh garlic instead of jarred garlic paste or minced garlic. Use one to two cloves of garlic, crushed or minced, depending on your preference. Red pepper flakes are also a key ingredient for a spicy and flavorful sauce. Use a generous pinch of red pepper flakes to add some heat to the sauce.

Tip 6: Saute the Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes

To extract the flavors from the garlic and red pepper flakes, saute them in olive oil over medium heat for about a minute or until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown as it can make the sauce bitter. Sauteing the garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil also infuses the oil with their flavors, which adds depth to the sauce.

Tip 7: Use Fresh Basil

Fresh basil adds a fresh and herbaceous flavor to arrabbiata sauce. Use fresh basil leaves, chopped or torn, instead of dried basil. Add the basil to the sauce at the end of the cooking process to preserve its flavor.

Tip 8: Finish with Parmesan Cheese (Optional)

To add some richness and depth to the sauce, add grated Parmesan cheese at the end of the cooking process. However, this step is optional, especially for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan.
Conclusion
Arrabbiata sauce with zucchini noodles is a healthy and flavorful dish that is easy to prepare. By following the tips outlined in this article, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Remember to choose the right zucchini, invest in a spiralizer, salt the zucchini noodles, use high-quality tomatoes, don’t skimp on garlic and red pepper flakes, saute the garlic and red pepper flakes, use fresh basil, and finish with Parmesan cheese (optional). Enjoy your delicious arrabbiata sauce with zucchini noodles!
