Penne all'arrabbiata

Rome Typical Food

Penne all'arrabbiata

Probably the simplest of all Italian dishes to prepare, 'all'arrabbiata' normally eaten with penne pasta is the quintessential Roman version of comfort food. If someone should drop by unexpectedly, this would be the perfect dish to whip it in a snap, and enjoy with a glass of full bodied red wine.

Ingredients
2 cloves of garlic
400 gr penne pasta
2 hot peppers
3-4 tablespoons chopped parsley
100gr Pecorino cheese
400gr mature tomatoes or tomato purè
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Put the pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water. Leave to cook for the time recommended by the producer.
In the meantime cut tomatoes into pieces eliminating seeds if necessary. (if using tomatoes and not purè).
In a heated frying pan with olive oil,  place chopped garlic and red peppers.
Add tomatoes and cook the sauce for 5 minutes adding salt to taste.
Once pasta is finished, drain and add to pan with sauce, ensuring that the pasta is well mixed.
Place in serving dish and garnish with pecorino cheese and parsley.
