Will Tabasco improve the flavor of spaghetti? If not how do I

>>8161389
Chili pepper in the sauce

>>8161389
Cayenne pepper in the sauce 2bqhwy

Add chilli's

>>8161395
but then it will taste like chili and chili powder isn't that hot actually.

I usually use Tabasco for extra kick. Otherwise just use cayenne pepper when you're making the sauce.

If you like it tangy, yes.

>>8161399
I have some pickled jalapenos. you think those would be good in it?

>>8161402
Meant chile pepper

Tabasco is just hot vinegar. Vinegar and tomatoes go well together.

>>8161408
No I don't think that would taste very good

Get some red chillis and dice them up and add in right at the start when you're frying off the onion and garlic

You make Linguine Napolitana.

>>8161389
Do you mean spice up as "make spicy" or spice up as in "somehow improve the flavor, not just meaning spicy"

>>8161439
both.

A dash of Siracha will give any dish a midwestern kick.

You have to add so much Tabasco to it to get a good kick that the tomato sauce is overpowered at that point.

I use to add 1 or 2 habaneros finely diced into my sauce at the beginning pretty much like what >>8161420 says about the chili peppers. Membrane and seeds and all. You can even puree them and mix it in and cook it up and let it cook with the sauce. It adds a noticeable flavor and spice and costs next to nothing just like any peppers

>>8161389
use hot italian sausage

Tabasco will make it taste hot and vinegary.

If your pasta needs that kind of 'flavour' you're doing it wrong and need to be taught how to make a proper sauce.

Lots of garlic, onion and herbs (eg. oregano) are the best way to boost the flavour of spaghetti sauce in my opinion. Black pepper too. Tabasco is too vinegary, if you want that kind of spice then just use cayenne pepper or finely diced chili peppers like others have said.

If you want a spicy sauce you might be better off just making chili instead of adding to your usual pasta sauce.

>>8161389

Christ. You're looking for alfredo napolitano. It's smooth, garlicky and tomato..

>>8161563
yeah this or a special chef john pinch of cayenne.

by the way, sriracha isn't bad for sketti as long as (obviously) you only put a dash or two in there. it does spice it up a bit and it's not really vinegary, the sweet bell pepperish flavor profile in sriracha is petty good for tomato sauce.

yeah that guy isn't quite handsome enough to eat my spaghetti tho.

>>8161518
underrated post.

i always sirachi the fuck out of cheap frozen pizza. yes, digorno and freshetta qualifies

>>8161389
Red chili flakes toasted in a little olive oil with some black pepper.

Vinegar based hot sauces like tobacco will fuck up the entire flavor profile of your sauce.

Gravy Master. Like 1/4 teaspoon. Seriously.

>>8161389

Wait, did you write SPICE UP or IMPROVE? Fuck.

>>8161389
Cream cheese. 3 tbsp

>>8161389
Nice replies from American posters but as usual they completely miss the point when it comes to cooking.

You do not flavour the spaghetti at all, that's what the sauce is for . . .don't forget that the pasta is the main bulk part of the dish!

for spice use italian blend, or basil oregano, couple flakes of thyme. Heat you can add cayenne, red pepper flakes. Tangy you use vinegar or white wine vinegar, if it needs sweetness, white sugar.

tabasco is just vinegar desu

put some habanero in the sauce
or something hotter, depends on taste

>>8161389
crushed red pepper

>>8161563
How the fuck did it take so long for someone to mention this? Weird. But yes, red pepper is the only answer.

This guy knows.
