Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
Spicy Spaghetti Sauce with Pepperoncini
Pepperonicini are small spicy pickled peppers.
1 pound spaghetti
10 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, thinly sliced
8-10 pepperoncini, seeded and chopped
28 oz canned tomatoes, crushed
1 generous cup Parmesan cheese, shredded plus extra for garnishing
Salt and pepper to taste
While pasta is cooking, saute bacon and drain off fat.
Add 3 tablespoons olive oil and onions and cook until onions are lightly golden. Add pepperoncini, tomatoes, salt and pepper and simmer 10 minutes.
When pasta is done, drain and toss with rest of olive oil. Stir in spaghetti sauce, add cheese and toss. Sprinkle each serving of Spaghetti Sauce with more Parmesan. Servese 4-6.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen:
Try whole wheat pasta, which has more nutrients than white pasta.
