How to Make Penne Al Arrabbiata

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chili flakes (adjust amount to your preference – start with less and add more for extra heat!). If using whole chilies, add them now, removing seeds for less heat.
  4. Stir in crushed San Marzano tomatoes, tomato paste, and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using whole chilies, remove them before serving.
  6. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves (optional). Enjoy the fiery deliciousness!
