Ingredients
  • 14.11 oz (400 g) penne pasta
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 clove garlic
  • 2 pcs chili
  • 14.11 oz (400 g) canned peeled tomato
  • 2 tbsp parsley leaves
  • 1.41 oz (40 g) Pecorino Romano cheese
Description

1. Crush the garlic and slice the fresh chillies into rings (deseed them if you prefer it milder).

2. In a wide frying pan, fry the garlic and chilli in the extra virgin olive oil over low heat for 2-3 minutes so the oil takes on their flavour; you can remove the garlic afterwards.

3. Add the hand-crushed tomatoes, season with salt and simmer for 15 minutes until thick and glossy.

4. Meanwhile, cook the penne in plenty of salted water for 1 minute less than the stated time.

5. Tip the drained penne into the sauce, toss together for 1 minute with a little cooking water and finally stir in the finely chopped parsley.

6. Serve hot, sprinkled with a little grated pecorino.

Tip: "Arrabbiata" means "angry" - a nod to the red face the heat gives you; feel free to adjust the amount of chilli to your taste.
