Instructions
 

The Preparation

  1. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
