But, as most Italians will tell you, not all red sauce is created equal. The two main red sauces in the Italian food realm are undoubtedly Marinara and Pomodoro, but how on earth are we supposed to distinguish one from the other? Besides a few variations, both have basically the same standard ingredients: tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt. The difference mainly comes down to the length of time each pot of sauce spends on the stovetop, simmering to delicious goodness.
Since Marinara spends less time simmering and has chopped tomatoes, it offers a bright, red hue, and is typically runnier, with larger and zestier chunks of tomatoes. Conversely, Pomodoro features minced tomatoes and enjoys more time simmering, which grants the sauce a deep, dark redness closer to burgundy, and a consistency that is smoother and thicker.
Sure, in the grand scheme of things—and to the casual eater—the differences might seem merely cosmetic, but to the seasoned chef these two sauces offer entirely unique shades of red in various pasta dishes. Sadly— even tragically —the act of drowning these gorgeously simplistic dishes in a heavy cream sauce is a food crime that is continuously perpetrated to this day.
Unfortunately, cream dumbs down dishes, diluting the Pecorino Romano used in both preparations and rendering a pair of utterly bland plates. Both dishes have Roman roots, but where Alfredo sauce has a more concrete origin story , the Carbonara tale is anecdotal at best.
And while most casual eaters have accepted that cream does not belong in Carbonara, the majority of Alfredo sauce recipes still list heavy cream as an ingredient. How did this happen? How did cream become so intertwined with these dishes that the heavy grotesque stuff has infiltrated so many iterations across the country, and why is Alfredo sauce in particular still suffering this milky fate?
The answers are mostly speculation, but chances are cream was added to the mix as a way to stretch scarce ingredients, making the dish heavier and more filling. Thankfully, the Internet is loaded with top-notch— and correct —versions of both Carbonara and Alfredo. Whichever method you use, remember, Arrabiata should be hot—not mildly spicy, but screaming, face-reddening, hot.
But where Fra Diavolo is a silky, pleasurably piquant addition to seafood dishes, Arrabiata is a temperamental, fiery, fist fight in your mouth. Most Arrabiata recipes call for the same basic ingredients: onions, garlic, whole or diced peeled tomatoes, and maybe some basil and capers, or even breadcrumbs.
And oh yeah, lots of red pepper. This can be the pre-crushed variety, or you can get your anger out in a healthy way and crush your own peppers. The first is consistency; according to Chowhound , you'll usually cut up tomatoes to make both sauces, but mince them a little more finely for a pomodoro than you would for a marinara. The result is a loose, chunkier sauce when you make marinara, and a smooth, thick pomodoro. Think of pomodoro as having a consistency similar to pizza sauce after all, it's sometimes spread on pizzas , while marinara has bigger pieces of tomato.
The other major difference between the two sauces is how long they typically cook. According to Paesana , a company that produces homemade pizza and pasta sauces, marinara sauce usually spends less time simmering than pomodoro sauce.
