Spicy Red Pepper Sauce image

This zesty red sauce is thick with diced red peppers. Its piquancy comes from crushed red-pepper flakes and dashes of hot sauce. Serve tossed with hearty fettuccine noodles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 red bell peppers (about 2 pounds), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup dry white wine
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, with juice
One 14 1/2-ounce can low sodium chicken stock, skimmed of fat
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Few dashes hot-pepper sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add bell peppers; cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Raise heat to medium high; add wine. Cook, scraping any browned bits from pan, until liquid evaporates.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes with juice, stock, tomato sauce, the water, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and hot-pepper sauce if using. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
