    Source of Recipe


    Bon Appétit

    Recipe Introduction


    This feisty sauce gets its name from one of its ingredients, dried crushed red pepper (arrabbiata is Italian for "angry"). Use extra red pepper for an even spicier result. Serve with: Deli antipasti such as olives, roasted red peppers, and provolone atop a bed of arugula, and seeded semolina bread. Dessert: Purchased tiramisù.


    List of Ingredients




    1 pound gemelli or fusilli
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
    2 14 1/2-ounce cans petite diced tomatoes in juice
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

    1 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese

    Recipe



    Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup cooking water.
    Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juices and wine; bring to boil. Boil until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Stir in basil. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

    Add pasta and 1/2 cup cheese to sauce and toss until cheese melts and sauce coats pasta, adding reserved water by tablespoonfuls to moisten if necessary, about 3 minutes. Season pasta to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining 1/2 cup cheese separately.

    Makes 4 servings
