Penne all’arrabbiata – spicy pasta

“Arrabbiata” means “Angry” in Italian. This dish is spicy with chilies (peperoncino). It’s such a perfect name, you can either burn for being angry or having chilies in your mouth. In both cases, turns our faces to red.

The pasta all’arrabbiata is ready in ⏳10 minutes and the type of pasta used for this is “penne” but that’s totally up to you. Better be short shaped pasta to get more sauce with every bite

– Stir lively so it will melt in the sauce and makes the dish more creamy. In case the pasta is too dry add a bit of pasta water.

Serve the pasta all’arrabbiata with a bit of parmesan cheese on top and chopped fresh parsley

Notes

  • The spiciness of pasta depends on the type of chilly you are using. In Italy, the chilies of the Calabria region are very famous. They have so many varieties from very hot to mild chilies.

Buon appetito. ☺️
