Penne Arrabbiata

Penne Arrabbiata

Penne Arrabbiata is bold, bright, and beautifully spicy – the kind of pasta that wakes up your palate with every bite. This version celebrates simplicity while letting the heat of Martone Street Arrabbiata Calabrian Chili & Garlic Sauce shine through.

With a deep, slow-simmered tomato base and Calabrian chilies for a fiery kick, this dish brings the warmth and energy of Southern Italy straight to your weeknight dinner table. It’s fast, vibrant, and full of flavor.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta Water

Fill a large stockpot with water and bring it to a boil.

Salt generously – it should taste like broth.

Step 2: Reduce the Sauce

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, warm and reduce the Arrabbiata Sauce by about ¼ to concentrate the flavor.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Add the penne to the boiling water and cook until about 80% done, just shy of al dente.

Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Transfer the drained penne directly into the sauté pan with the sauce.

Add a few tablespoons of pasta water to loosen, tossing to coat thoroughly. Add more pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from heat.

Stir in the chopped parsley, then finish with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a generous amount of freshly cracked pepper.

Serve immediately.
