Spicy Twist To The Most Famous Tomato Sauce On The Internet

1. 1

   Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and put them in the oven to roast at 345u00b0F. Take them out once they are soft and slightly golden (about 15-25 minutes).

2. 2

   Blanch the fresh, ripe tomatoes in salted boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain them, and as soon as they are cool enough to handle, skin them. Cut the tomatoes into coarse pieces.

3. 3

   Put the prepared fresh tomatoes in a saucepan, add the butter, onion, peeled garlic cloves, chilis, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Cook uncovered at a steady simmer for 35-45 minutes, or until it is thickened to your liking.

4. 4

   Stir from time to time and use the back of a wooden spoon to mash up the large pieces of tomatoes.

5. 5

   Taste and correct for salt. Once the onions are soft and the sauce consistency is to your liking (feel free to drain any excess liquid), add the arugula. Cook and stir until well combined.

6. 6

   Before using the sauce, you may remove the onion, but many opt to leave it in.
