Ingredients
Before we get started, let's go over the ingredients you'll need to make this Spicy Arrabbiata Pasta:
- 16 oz. penne pasta
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Arrabbiata Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Next, pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Combine the Pasta and Sauce
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the Arrabbiata sauce. Allow the pasta to heat through for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
