Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups tomato passata
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 5 tbsp sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp red chile flakes (plus more to taste)
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until garlic begins to sizzle and caramelize to a rich golden brown, 3- 4 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
  2. Add tomatoes, honey, sriracha, chile flakes, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and a few cranks of black pepper. Whisk until combined and emulsified (it will take a little bit of elbow grease).
  3. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook, uncovered, until thickened and flavorful, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust with more salt or chile paste, as needed. Serve with crusty bread.
