Recipe Information
Balance the Heat
For the best Arrabbiata flavor, gently fry the garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil without letting the garlic turn brown. Adjust the chilli according to your preferred spice level.
Adding a small amount of starchy pasta water while tossing the penne with the sauce helps create a smoother sauce that coats the pasta beautifully.
