Instructions: To begin making the Penne Arrabbiata Pasta Recipe we first have to cook the pasta.In a large pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Once the water has boiled, add a teaspoon of salt.Add the pasta to the boiling water and let it cook in the boiling water until it is al dente ( just cooked). This process should take a good 12-15 minutes.Once the pasta has cooked, drain the water and run the cooked pasta under running water to stop the cooking process.Drizzle some oil on top of pasta and make sure to coat all of the pasta with the oil so that the pasta doesn’t stick to each other.To make the Arrabiatta Pasta SaucePlace a pan on medium heat, add oil and garlic and onion and saute for a few seconds until the onions turn soft.Once the onions have softened, add the tomato puree, chilli flakes, mixed herbs, pounded black peppercorns, salt and sugar.Cook the arrabbiata sauce together for a few minutes till the the sauce comes together and you can smell the aromas in the air. Add the cooked Penne Pasta to the spicy arrabbiata sauce and keep mixing till the sauce thickens and pasta is well coated with the sauce.Once done, turn off the heat, check the salt and spices and adjust according to taste. Transfer the Penne Arrabbiata Pasta to a serving bowl. Finally sprinkle the parmesan cheese on the top and serve hot.Serve Penne Arrabbiata Pasta Recipe along with Thai Green Papaya Salad Recipe and a glass of wine for your weekend night dinner.
