“Arrabbiata Pasta” in Italian means “angry pasta” and this name might be explained by the hot red chili peppers that gives an explosive taste to the dish!

Arrabbiata Pasta

Bring a large stockpot filled with lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions for "al dente."

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; saute 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chopped tomatoes and cook 5 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens.

Drain cooked pasta using a colander and quickly toss into tomato mixutre 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and grated Pecorino Romano cheese, if desired.
