Pizza Arrabbiata

August 23, 2013

Since it’s been so long since I’ve featured pizza on the blog… (insert sound of record scratch here). I know, I know, it’s more pizza. But it’s pizza! I will never get tired of making pizza at home. This pizza stone has changed my life. I think you all will really appreciate this Pizza Arrabbiata. It’s more traditional than other I’ve featured on the blog since it has a tomato sauce and mozzarella. Arrabbiata is a spicy sauce made from garlic, tomatoes, and red chili peppers and it’s fantastic as the base for this pizza.

So, how’s it taste?

Loved it! I have yet to meet a pizza I didn’t like. I added hot Italian turkey sausage to mine and the original recipe calls for pancetta. I think any meat would work well and it would be equally fantastic without meat. My slices were super spicy since I had heat in the sauce and heat in the sausage. What I love about this pizza is that the sauce is homemade and takes seconds to make. It was so fragrant with the garlic and pepper.

I want to make this again using fresh mozzarella and fresh oregano and no meat. I think it would be so good. This is a great recipe to have on hand and top with any topping you like. Leave out the red pepper if you don’t want the spice.

    Hi Leah,
    Love your blog (Kim gave me the link). I saw your pizzas and was inspired to pop up and start the sponge for my overnight pizza dough. Do you make your own? Thanks.

      Hi Ruth! I haven’t made my own dough yet, but want to try it. I buy pizza dough in the bakery section at Publix for now. I like the taste of it a lot. Can’t wait to hear about the pizzas you make!
