a RARE PASTA SAUCE I ate weekly when I lived in ITALY

This spicy, creamy, red bell pepper pasta sauce is a rare pasta sauce that I’ve only found in a jar in a supermarket in Italy, today I set out to recreate this nostalgic sauce. I believe this is a variation of pesto alla calabrese.

I made a variation of this yesterday for my 94 year old grandma that can't really taste much at this point. I didn't have Calabrian chilies on hand so I substituted a red serrano from the garden and also two san marzano's from the garden instead of the tomato paste. I also threw in a couple sun-dried tomatoes with the oil from the jar. I walked in after she had started to eat and her eyes lit up and she goes "now THIS is good!". Well done, Chef! You gave me enough influence to revive an ol' ladies taste buds.

Tip from an Italian - you could replace the cream with some grated Parmigiano and blend it in - Adds a bit more thickness just like cream would, but will accentuate the peppers and other stuff a bit more - you can also use ricotta for a creamier texture instead - cream is more of a french cuisine thing, in Italy we don't tend to use it as much, especially in the south

I think it's not a "sauce" that inspired this but the somewhat popular Pesto Calabrese which is traditionally made from roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes, ricotta, garlic, and pecorino cheese. The ricotta will give that fullness that he is trying to replicate with the heavy cream and the body is coming from the sun dried tomatoes with the peppers remaining the dominant flavour. Italians generally don’t use a lot of cream when cooking, so any recipe that heavily rallies on it is probably reverse engineered by Americans or Northern Europeans.

It depends which part of Italy. I spent almost 20 years in Northern ltaly, in Bologna and they traditionally use a lot of fats - cheeses, cream, lard and butter. Possibly because of how cold it gets. Further South where it's warmer the food is "leaner" and lighter and they use olive oil in preference to other fats and would be unlikely to use ceam.

@DanielleTinkov 2 жыл бұрын

@@nikiTricoteuse that's fair. There is quite a bit of Italian food that's heavy on milk products, but in my experience most Italians will prefer a soft cheese like ricotta over heavy cream which is more popular in Norther European and American cuisine, which is why it is a go-to substitute when people from those regions try to reverse engineer Italian recipes. I reckon people generally go for the tastes that will feel natural to them based on the food they grew up with.

Barilla has a jared pesto called Calabrese. I used to eat it a lot when I was in college. This sauce must be just that thing, but way better! I will definitely try it. Thanks!

I too lived in Italy and fell in love with pesto calabrese. Several years ago, Aldi started carrying it as a seasonal item around August or September. It tasted exactly like the Barilla variety they sold in Italy. They didn't have it this year unfortunately but I'm hoping they bring it back.

@@newunderthesun7353 I looked at Walmart (in store and online) and sadly can't find it (though Amazon has the Barilla for $17/jar). Maybe it depends on where you live. ☹

Thank you for this! I think this plus walnuts might be the sauce I found once at an Italian grocery outside of Detroit. My mother and I thought it was super delicious but when I returned to the store there were no more jars on the shelf and the employees weren't sure what I wanted. Now its 4yrs later and I've periodically checked back at that store and others with no luck, but I can't forget the taste.
