Arrabbiata Sauce: A Fiery Classic from Kitchen At Hoskins

At Kitchen At Hoskins, we believe that the heart of Italian cuisine lies in its simplicity and bold flavours. Our Arrabbiata sauce exemplifies this philosophy, showcasing the robust character of its ingredients. Traditionally originating from the region of Lazio, this sauce stands out with its fiery kick thanks to the generous addition of red chillies, balanced beautifully by the rich sweetness of ripe tomatoes and a hint of garlic.

To create the perfect Arrabbiata, we start with a base of extra virgin olive oil, gently sautéing minced garlic until fragrant. We then add juicy tomatoes, letting them simmer to develop a rich, deep flavour. The pièce de résistance is the addition of crushed red pepper flakes – just enough to awaken your senses without overwhelming the palate. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil at the end brings a touch of freshness, making it an ideal pairing for al dente pasta or as a vibrant dip for crusty bread.

Whether you’re creating a casual family meal or a sophisticated dinner for friends, our Arrabbiata sauce promises to add a touch of Italian warmth and zest to your table. Come and experience this fiery delight at Kitchen At Hoskins!

Indulging in a hearty Bolognese sauce has never been easier, thanks to the Instant Pot. This Easy Instant Pot Bolognese sauce recipe combines the classic flavours of rich minced beef, aromatic onions, and fragrant herbs, all simmered to perfection in a fraction of the time. Start by sautéing onions and garlic until they become beautifully soft and fragrant. Then, add the minced beef, allowing it to brown to develop a robust depth of flavour.

Once your meat is nicely browned, stir in ripe tomatoes, a generous splash of red wine, and a hint of Italian seasoning. Seal the lid and set your Instant Pot to pressure cook for 30 minutes. The result is a velvety sauce that's bursting with flavour, perfect for tossing with freshly cooked pasta or serving over creamy polenta.

Finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan and a scattering of basil leaves for that authentic touch. This comforting dish is not just quick to prepare; it’s also an ideal way to impress family and friends during dinner. With minimal effort and maximum flavour, this Bolognese sauce will soon become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
