Method

Preparation of Sauce

  1. 1

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Chilis

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chopped Calabrian chilis. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to the tomato mixture, stirring to incorporate. Bring the sauce to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Basil

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the torn fresh basil and remove from heat.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dish

    In a serving dish or individual bowls, ladle the Arrabbiata sauce generously.

  2. 7

    Add Mozzarella

    Top the sauce with slices of fresh mozzarella, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the sauce.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
