Arrabbiata Sauce

1. 1

   Cut all of the plum tomatoes into halves and finely chop the garlic.

2. 2

   Simmer tomatoes, red pepper, and oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan, uncovered.

3. 3

   Stir occasionally until sauce is thickened, about 1 1/2 hours.

4. 4

   During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add garlic and stir frequently to prevent scorching.

5. 5

   Remove from heat, then stir in basil.

6. 6

   Add a little salt and pepper, just because it feels nice.

7. 7

   Its ready to serve over your favorite pasta shape!

8. 8

   Note: After cooking down on the stovetop, the sauce is really chunky, so I usually take mine for a spin in the food processor, but its not necessary.
