Here’s a simple recipe for penne all’arrabbiata
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225g) penne pasta.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced.
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust according to your spice preference).
- 1 can (14 ounces/400g) diced tomatoes.
- ¼ cup tomato paste.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
- 1 teaspoon dried basil.
- Salt, to taste.
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish).
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional).
Instructions:
1
Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
3
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
