Pasta Arrabbiata Recipe
Ingredients
– 2 liters water
– Salt as required
– 1 cup pasta
For the sauce:
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
– 2 teaspoons spicy chili flakes
– 3 tomatoes, halved
– Reserved pasta water as required
– 1/2 cup tomato purée
– Salt to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
– 3-4 fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
To finish:
– 1-2 tablespoons cold butter
Method
1. Boil the Pasta:
– Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot.
– Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water.
– Add 1 cup of pasta to the pot and cook until al dente, following the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes).
– Reserve some pasta water (about 1 cup) before draining the pasta.
– Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
– Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
– Add 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, but not browned.
– Add 2 teaspoons of spicy chili flakes and sauté for another 30 seconds.
– Add 3 halved tomatoes to the pan. Pour in some reserved pasta water, then cover and steam until the skins can be peeled off, about 5-7 minutes.
– Remove the skins from the tomatoes and mash them up in the pan.
3. Cook the Sauce:
– Add 1/2 cup of tomato purée to the mashed tomatoes and more reserved pasta water as needed. Stir well.
– Cover and cook until the tomatoes have completely broken down and the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
– Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss well. Add more pasta water to adjust the consistency if needed.
– Stir in 3-4 fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley.
5. Finish the Dish:
– For a restaurant trick, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold butter to the pasta and toss well until melted and incorporated.
6. Plate and Serve:
– Plate the pasta and garnish with some fresh basil.
– Serve immediately.
