Pasta all’arrabbiata – an angry pasta – is the perfect example of the simple deliciousness of Italian cuisine. Combine quality olive oil, garlic, tomato and chilli and you have a pasta that will whet your taste buds and your appetite. As the name suggests, the sauce kicks, but how angry it gets is entirely up to you.
Spicy Tomato Pasta
Pasta all'arrabbiata gets its character from the chilli, but choosing just the right chilli is everything. Peperoncino is a classic choice, but if you can't find it, you can use a mild red chilli or a stronger habanero, for example. Why not a smoky chipotle or a sweet jalapeño? Remember, the spiciness of the sauce determines the character of the whole dish – the degree of spiciness is entirely in your hands. A vegan, quick and really easy pasta that brings Italian warmth to your plate!
