Pasta with Arrabbiata Sauce

Description:
This is one of my favorite pasta sauce recipes. It�s a spicy sauce and it's easy to make (I'm making it right now). If my husband would eat it every night, I'd probably make it every night.

You can serve it with any type of pasta. Traditionally, it is served with Penne, but I usually serve it with spaghetti or angel hair pasta.

The recipe makes enough sauce to go with a pound of pasta.. I, personally, don't like the taste of leftover pasta so I only make the amount of pasta we�re going to eat that night (about 4 oz for 2 of us) and then I freeze the remainder of the sauce. It freezes well and it�s great to have it on hand when you�re in a rush for dinner.

Ingredients:
2 tbsn olive oil
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes (if available I use the fire roasted tomatoes)
1 sugar lump (or 1 tspn of sugar)
1 tsp dried crushed red pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley (or 2 tspn dried)
salt and pepper to taste
Pasta of choice.

Directions:
Heat oil and gently fry the chopped onion, garlic and crushed red pepper until softened. Add tomatoes with their juice, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. If using dried parsley add it now, if using fresh parsley wait to add until you're ready to serve. Simmer for 20 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, make whatever pasta you�re using according to package instructions.

Once the sauce is done, if using a lb of pasta, mix it all together. If you're just making a few servings, I just serve the sauce over the pasta and freeze the remainder of the sauce after it cools down.

Top with parmesan cheese.
