Method

Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the garlic over medium-high heat. When the garlic is aromatic, remove from the pan and discard. Add the tomato paste and the crushed red peppers and reduce the heat to low. Stir until fragrant, about 4 minutes, and stir in the tomatoes. Simmer the sauce over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt.
In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt. Add the pasta and cook two minutes less than the package instructions or just before al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water. Drop the pasta in the sauce, tossing coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Allow the pasta to cook in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes. If needed, add a small amount of the cooking water to the pan to loosen up the pasta.
When al dente, plate the pasta, and top with the freshly-grated cheese and shredded basil. Serve Pasta all'arrabbiata immediately.

Pasta all’arrabbiata briefly

Pasta all’arrabbiata is all in all a very straightforward dish. What makes it special, is the tomato-based sauce spiced with crushed red peppers. And it is the fieriness of the coarsely crushed mixture of dried chili peppers that gives Pasta all’arrabbiata its name. Arrabbiata is Italian for angry, but the pasta itself won’t make anyone angry, although it might seem so when the spiciness of the sauce turns one’s face red.

The pasta in all’arrabbiata is usually penne, but also rigatoni and ziti rigati pastas have been used. Traditionally Pasta all’arrabbiata has been a starter or primo piatto. As Pasta all’arrabbiata only takes around 30 minutes to prepare so it is also an excellent choice for an everyday dinner.

Pasta all’arrabbiata delivers a complex depth of flavor

Besides the red peppers, tomatoes play an important role in the flavor of Pasta all’arrabbiata. In our version of this pasta, we used Mutti Cherry Tomatoes together with Mutti Double concentrated tomato paste that is the perfect match for dishes demanding a strong and intense taste of tomato. Using the pasta together with cherry tomatoes results in an intense flavor and texture of the tomato.

Pasta all’arrabbiata might not be one of the most famous Italian dishes. However it has had its fifteen minutes of fame when at least in Marco Ferreri’s La Grande Bouffe and Federico Fellini’s Roma as these two well-known Italian movies featured the dish.
