Tagliatelle Arrabbiata is a classic Italian pasta dish known for its spicy tomato sauce. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 400g tagliatelle pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 800g canned diced tomatoes
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the tagliatelle pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sautΓ© for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and golden brown.
- Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the skillet with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked tagliatelle pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is well coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add some of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
- Serve the Tagliatelle Arrabbiata hot, garnished with freshly chopped basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
