The Science of Arrabbiata

It's no secret that arrabbiata, a type of Italian sauce, is made with tomatoes, garlic, and sometimes onions. But what makes it so unique is the way it ages like a fine wine... or a well-crafted insult. As the tomatoes break down, they release their sugars, making the sauce sweeter and more complex with time. It's like a fine balsamic, but less likely to be served as a condiment for bruschetta.
