How to Make a Classic Spicy Italian Penne all"Arrabbiata



Arrabbiata means angry, and if made right these penne are spicy. Though the versions offered by the really cheap eateries in Rome rely primarily on garlic and hot pepper for their punch, some of the versions printed in cookbooks also call for onions.

  • 2 minced cloves of garlic, or more, to taste (don't overdo it)

Preparation

Sauté the onion (if you are using it) and the garlic in half the oil, and when the mixture is lightly browned, add the tomatoes and the pepper. In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water. Check the seasoning of the sauce, stir the remaining oil into it together with the basil, pour it over the pasta, and serve the pasta with the cheese on the side.

Serve with a white wine from the Colli Albani, such as Fontana di Papa, and follow it with Saltimbocca alla Romana.

A wine? White, from the Colli Albani.
