Campanelle alla Arrabbiata


"Thatsa spicy saucea" .. and I wanted a spicy pasta dish tonight and that's exactly what I got with my "Campanelle alla Arrabbiata" or "Campanelle Pasta with Angry Sauce".

Arrabbiata is a rich "Roman" sauce made of garlic, tomatoes, and red chili cooked in olive oil. Basil is sometimes used in this recipe. Tradition calls for penne pasta .. but I like "Campanelle" or "Little Bells" pasta which offers more of that sauce grabbing power. 

"alla Arrabbiata" means "angry style", named so for the those little red hot Italian chili peppers. You can find several different variations of this famous dish all across southern Italy due in part to the various regional cooking traditions.

If you like spicy food .. this is your meal .. "Get Angry"!
