Red-Sauce Italian Cooking Finds a Future at Don Angie.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/29/dining/don-angie-review.html?

Tho most of us aren't in NYC, here's a recipe:

'Chicken scarpariello, also known as shoemaker's chicken, is a classic Italian-American dish of chicken, sausage, vinegar, onions and peppers that has all the flavors and textures: Tangy and rich, spicy and sweet, tender and crunchy. Our version is adapted from one found on the menu at Rao's, the reservations-impossible Southern Italian restaurant and celebrity hangout in Harlem. It starts with pan-frying chicken pieces and Italian sausage in a little olive oil until golden brown. Bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic go into the pan and are sautéed until soft. All of that – plus hot peppers, potatoes, vinegar and wine – goes into a roasting pan and into a hot oven until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. (The potatoes are totally optional, by the way, but they are a nice, pillowy counterpoint to the prickly heat of the peppers.) Serve with a hunk of good bread to mop up the sauce.'

Wouldn't think of jalapenos and Italian. I have been buying Rao's sauce to add to my own for a couple years. But, now moving from many years of trying to replicate my aunt Connie's sauce and cooking it a long time to a fresher, less cooked version like in Italy.
