Pasta Arrabiatta

Whenever, I eat out and order a pasta dish. I like to order pasta Arrabiatta as I know that the sauce will be spicy.  Also this  spicy tomato pasta dish is made using very few ingredients.

Where does arrabiata sauce come from?

This sauce that originates from Rome, Italy. In Italian, arrabbiata translates to mean “angry” sauce, thanks to all of those spicy chili peppers.The main ingredients to this sauce are garlic, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes for spice.

I served this with Angel Hair Pasta.
