Notes
- You could adapt the amount of chilli though to suit more delicate pallets and make it kid friendly, but the whole point of this dish is for it to have a bit of a kick to it.
- A teaspoon of fish sauce in the recipe will add a real savoury depth to the sauce. This will no longer be vegetarian/vegan if you include this.
- If you want to thin your arrabiata pasta sauce out a little and make it smoother, then reserve some of the pasta water and add it to the sauce.
- If you wanted to add some vegetables to this, then spinach added towards the end of cooking would work well.
