Pasta Arrabiata (Say No-Cheese)
Advertisement
Arrabiata literally means Angry in Italian heheh... The name comes from the spiciness of the chili used in this sauce. Arrabiata sauce is a mix of garlic, tomato, chili flakes & olive oil. As this is my version I made it more rich & flavor full in my own way. I am cooking this dish with Wheat penne so that you can indulge in this healthy, saucy & juicy dish guilt free 🙂 So give it a try now...
