Ingredients
- 350 g pasta - 12 0z of penne rigate
- 1 clove garlic
- 400 g tomatoes - ~1 pound of fresh tomato pulp or canned San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 Chilli Peppers - fresh red hot chilli peppers or dried red hot chili pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
- 2 tablespoons parsley - chopped and fresh
- salt - fine, to taste
- Pecorino Romano cheese - grated, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- If using fresh tomatoes, soak them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then remove the skin.
- If using canned peeled tomatoes, place them in a dish and drain off excess liquid. Cut the tomatoes or mash them with a fork.
- Peel and crush the garlic clove a little. Chop the chili pepper. Chop the fresh parsley by hand or with an electric chopper and set aside.
- In a frying pan, sauté chopped garlic and chilies in oil for 2-3 minutes over low heat, taking care that it does not burn. The bitter taste of burnt garlic will spoil the sauce.
- Add the tomato and season with salt. Still over low heat, cook the tomato sauce for about 10 minutes. Finally remove the garlic.
- Meanwhile, cook the penne in salted water according to the time indicated on the package (usually around 12 minutes). Drain them when al dente.
- Place the pasta in the arrabbiata sauce and stir. Add chopped parsley and serve with a sprinkling of grated Pecorino Romano cheese on top (optional).
