Angy Penne |
|
Serves: 4
(Penne all’Arrabbiata)
Category: Dried Pasta with Tomatoes
Makes 4 to 6 servings
These Roman-style penne are called "angry" because of the red-hot flavor of the tomato sauce. Use as much, or as little, crushed red pepper as you like. This pasta is usually served without cheese.
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
Crushed red pepper, to taste
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped, or 1 (28-ounce) can imported Italian peeled tomatoes, drained, and chopped
2 fresh basil leaves
Salt
1 pound penne pasta

1 Pour the oil into a skillet large enough to hold all of the pasta. Add the garlic and pepper and cook until the garlic is deeply golden, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic.
2 Add the tomatoes, basil, and salt to taste. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until the sauce is thick.
3 Bring at least 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, then the pasta. Stir well. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, tender yet still firm to the bite. Set aside some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta.
4 Transfer the penne to the skillet and toss well over high heat. Add a little of the cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Serve immediately.
