Penne all’Arrabbiata

Penne all’Arrabbiata

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 400 grams (14 oz) of penne pasta

  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil

  • 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

  • 2-3 dried red chilies, crushed (adjust to taste)

  • 800 grams (28 oz) of canned chopped tomatoes

  • Salt to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and crushed red chilies, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and golden but not burnt.

3. Add Tomatoes:

Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and stir well. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the flavors to meld together.

4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:

Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the arrabbiata sauce.

5. Garnish and Serve:

Stir in the chopped parsley and mix well. Serve the Penne all’Arrabbiata hot, with grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Enjoy your spicy and flavorful Penne all’Arrabbiata! This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad and a side of garlic bread. Buon appetito!
