Classic, delicious arrabbiata sauce any Italian foodie would enjoy! San Marzano tomatoes are the way to go! The basil, garlic, and peppers gave it that distinct flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Laura Griffin says:

This arrabbiata sauce was excellent! I used organic tomatoes instead of San Marzano, I can only image how they taste with those tomatoes. Also loved the hints of basil, so good.
