- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Tuttorosso Tomato Paste
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 28 ounce can Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Whole Peeled Pear Tomatoes with Basil & Sea Salt
- 1 28 ounce can Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Salt
- 1/3 cup basil leaves, torn
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the tartlets
ingredients

- 12 slices soppressata or spicy pepperoni
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated
- hot honey, serving
Method
Step 1
Heat a dutch oven and add olive oil over medium heat. Add in garlic, stirring until it gets golden, about 5 minutes. Add in red onion, pepper flakes and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
Step 2
Add in Tuttorosso Tomato Paste and stir until it is darkened and combined, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add wine and cook off for about 2 minutes. Once it is cooked off, add Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Whole Peeled Pear Tomatoes with Basil & Sea Salt and San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Salt. Using kitchen scissors, cut tomatoes so they start to break down. Add in basil, salt and pepper. Cover and cook in medium to low heat for 2 1/2 hours, stirring every so often.
Step 4
Let cool and then use an immersion blender to blend your sauce until smooth (alternatively you could transfer to a food processor). Season to taste.
Step 5
Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a rectangle and then cut into squares. [Note: Depending on how big your muffin tin is, you’ll want to make sure the squares cover the whole rim of the cup.]
Step 6
Spray tin with non-stick oil and add your pastry squares. Add in about a teaspoon of marinara to each cup, followed by grated mozzarella and your soppressata. [Note: Make sure to not add too much filling to the tartlets as they will rise and can get messy.]
Step 7
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle each with hot honey.
