An authentic pasta made by simmering whole tomatoes for a long time to bring out a deep umami flavor, with the fiery heat of chili peppers.

🙋 Recommended for

  • For those who want to experience the clean and fiery spiciness of Italian cuisine, not artificial heat.
  • For those who want to try making an authentic, rich and umami-packed tomato sauce from scratch.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 200g penne pasta
  • 1 can (400g) whole tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4-5 peperoncino
  • Extra virgin olive oil, generous amount
  • Salt to taste

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice or coarsely chop the garlic and set aside.
  2. Transfer the canned whole tomatoes to a bowl and crush them by hand, removing any tough skins or cores.
  3. Add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil to a pan, then add the garlic and peperoncino and sauté over low heat until fully fragrant.
  4. When the garlic turns golden without burning, pour in the prepared whole tomatoes and gently mix.
  5. Reduce the heat to very low, cover, and simmer gently for about 40 minutes to complete the tomato sauce.
  6. When the sauce is nearly done, bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the penne pasta.
  7. Transfer the cooked penne and some pasta water to the pan with the tomato sauce and stir-fry together until the sauce coats the pasta well.
  8. Finally, drizzle a little more olive oil, toss lightly, and serve in a bowl.
  1. Slice the garlic and crush the whole tomatoes by hand.
  2. Sauté garlic and chili in olive oil, then add the tomatoes and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.
  3. Toss the cooked penne and pasta water in the sauce, then finish with olive oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Simmering the tomato sauce for a long time eliminates the distinctive sourness of tomatoes and fills it with savory and umami flavors.
  • Penne is the best pasta for arrabbiata sauce because the sauce gets inside the tubes, coating each piece well.
