Spaghetti Arrabiata Pasta Recipe

Yields2 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins

The word arrabbiata sounds fancy...It means “angry” in Italian. So, this red sauce pasta is actually very hot and spicy as compared to other Italian sauces. One of my all time favourite sauce over any other pasta sauce.

 350 g Spaghetti Pasta
 500 g Tomatoes, finely chopped
 ¼ cup Basil Leaves, torn
 6 Garlic Gloves, finely chopped
 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
 2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
 ½ tsp Sugar
 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Salt N Pepper
 Parmesan cheese, for garnishing
1

Take a large deep pot with water, Add a teaspoon of salt and allow it to boil. Add spaghetti pasta and allow it to soften.

2

Cook the pasta until 90% cooked, once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water and keep aside. Drizzle some oil over the spaghetti pasta, so it does not stick to each other while cooking.

3

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the olive oil with heat over medium. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is cooked through.

4

Once it's cooked through, add the tomatoes, the red chili flakes, salt, sugar basil leaves. Saute the tomatoes until it becomes soft. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and bring the tomatoes to a saucy consistency.

5

Bring the spicy arrabiata sauce to boil and allow the sauce to slightly thicken. Check the salt and adjust according to taste.
Once done, add the cooked spaghetti and toss the Spaghetti Arrabiata Pasta for 3 to 4 minutes until the spaghetti is well coated with the pasta sauce.

6

Once done, turn off the heat and check the taste and spice and adjust accordingly. Transfer the Spaghetti Arrabiata Pasta to a serving bowl and serve hot.

7

Serve this pasta with pieces of bread and garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley.
