Arrabbiata Flavor Diced Tomatoes
What it is
These are diced tomatoes that have been seasoned with spices to create an arrabbiata flavor. Arrabbiata sauce is traditionally a spicy tomato sauce from Rome. This product offers a convenient way to add that flavor profile to dishes without starting from scratch. The tomatoes are packed in their own juice, which helps maintain their texture and flavor.

You can use these arrabbiata flavored diced tomatoes directly from the can in many recipes. For a quick pasta sauce, simply heat them in a saucepan with some garlic and olive oil, then toss with your favorite pasta. They can also be added to chili, stews, or casseroles to enhance the tomato flavor and introduce a touch of heat. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend them briefly before cooking. They work well as a base for pizzas or as a topping for bruschetta.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain diced tomatoes, this product comes pre-seasoned with the characteristic spicy and savory notes of arrabbiata. This saves time on seasoning and ensures a consistent flavor profile. The addition of spices means you might need to adjust other seasonings in your recipe.
