Pepperoncini Pasta Sauce

Pepperoncini Pasta Sauce is a spicy tomato sauce that can be made in just 30 minutes. Serve with your favorite pasta, a garden salad with Creamy Italian Dressing, and some Pepperoncini Garlic Bread if you want to go all out with the pepperoncini peppers.

Pepperoncini Peppers

Pepperoncini Peppers have a mild heat and will add a vinegary, peppery taste to the pasta sauce. They add alot of zip to the sauce. You want to use the jarred pepperoncini peppers for this sauce, not fresh peppers.

Other Ingredients

This pasta sauce is full of salty, briny, smoky flavor. In addition to being flavored with pepperoncini peppers, the sauce is also flavored with bacon, onion, garlic, kalamata olives, capers, and dried basil.

Pepperoncini Pasta Sauce Recipe Tips

If you want to cut the acidity of the sauce, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Fresh basil can be substituted for dried basil.

I like to add a little heavy cream to give the sauce a little creaminess, but it can be left out.

How To Spice It Up

To add a little more kick to the sauce, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes.

Storage

The sauce can be refrigerated for 4 to 5 days or frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
