Instructions
The Preparation
- Gather the ingredients. Put a large pot with 5L water on the stove so the water starts to boil in preparation for the pasta to boil.
The Cooking
- Chop the 2 hot peppers, 30 g fresh parsley, 15 g fresh basil leaves and mince the 2 garlic clove. Place a wide pan on medium heat and add 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to it. Add the minced cloves of garlic to the pan, before mixing the finely chopped chilli to the pan too.
- Once the garlic and peppers have simmered for a couple of minutes, put the 800 g peeled tomatoes in the pan and break down the tomatoes using a wooden spoon, so you are left with a thick, rich puree. Add 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper to the tomatoes and mix it through well. Leave the sauce on a medium heat for 15 minutes, mixing it every now and then.Once the water for the pasta is boiling, add a small handful of salt – and while waiting for the sauce - add the 500 g Penne pasta and leave to cook until al-dente, follow the instructions on the packaging.
- A couple of minutes before the Arrabbiata sauce is ready, add the chopped 30 g fresh parsley and break up some 15 g fresh basil leaves and drop it in. Sprinkle grated 100 g Pecorino Romano cheese then mix it through.
- Strain the pasta and add it to the pan while it is still on the stove, lathering it completely in the sauce. Add a small amount of the boiling water to the sauce to help it spread all over the pasta. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
