Penne all'arrabbiata (spicy tomato pasta)

"Without the chilli, it's just another boring tomato pasta. With the chilli, it's something else!"
- Nagi Maehashi from RecipeTin Eats, on Penne all'arrabbiata 😂

Excellent pantry pasta that's quick to make! Can you handle the heat?? - N x ❤️

—————————

Penne all'arrabbiata (spicy tomato pasta)
 
400g / 14oz penne or ziti, or other pasta of choice (short or long)
1 tbsp cooking / kosher salt, for cooking pasta
Arrabiata sauce
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 red cayenne pepper chilli, finely chopped (with seeds) (Note 2)
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
800g canned crushed tomato
1 1/4 tsp cooking / kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white sugar, only if needed (economical can be sour)
Serving:
Parmesan & finely chopped parsley (optiona)
 
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook garlic 10 sec, then fresh and dried chilli for 1 min until garlic light golden. Add tomato, rinse out cans with the water, plus salt and pepper. Simmer 15 min (taste at 10 min, if sour, add sugar).
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in water with 1 tbsp salt. Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup water then drain. Add pasta into sauce with ½ cup water, toss until pasta is all coated with sauce (use extra water if needed to loosen). Serve immediately with parmesan!
 
* SPICINESS – Has a fair kick to it, between medium and medium-hot. Not blow-your-head-off. To reduce spiciness, de-seed the cayenne pepper (most spiciness is in the seeds) –will lower to medium. If you’re still scared, leave out fresh chilli, start off with a baby amount of dried chilli, taste at 10 min simmer time then add more chilli bit by bit until you hit your threshold!

[maameafia]

Does anyone know the equivalent that would be for fresh tomatoes

[deanpippitt]

I hate to seem stupid, but Ive never understood using the pasta water for cooking. I only heard about it a few years back and thought why? Isnt it starchy tasting? If someone would explain Id really like to know.😊

[gerdsfargen]

Only thing I don’t like is all the hair flying around while in the kitchen
