Arrabbiata Sauce

Arrabbiata Sauce

Write A Review

There are spicy-hot, simple tomato sauces made all over Italy, christened with different names -- but arrabbiata is the name for the sauce you're most likely to see in upscale Italian restaurants in America today. It means angry, furious, and refers, of course, to the wrath of the red pepper flakes. (Feel free to add more of them, by the way, if you happen to be feeling unusually angry.) We like this sauce on penne, and on spaghetti too. Lots of restaurants today are using the sauce in non-pasta dishes; angry lobster has become a new staple of Italian-American restaurants (lobster fra diavolo having yielded to lobster all' arrabbiata). Makes enough sauce for 3/4 pound dried pasta
