Spicy Arrabbiata Skillet

β€œ"Angry" pasta β€” bold, punchy chili heat in a rich tomato sauce that wakes up your tastebuds.”

1Ingredients

12 oz rigatoni or ziti pasta
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1–2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp tomato paste
ΒΌ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan for serving
Salt to taste

2Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook gently 1–2 minutes until garlic is golden but not burnt.

2

Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute until it darkens slightly.

3

Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with salt. Bring to a rolling boil.

4

Stir in pasta, making sure it is mostly submerged.

5

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 14–16 minutes. Stir every few minutes to ensure even cooking.

6

Once pasta is al dente and sauce is thick, remove from heat. Stir in fresh parsley and serve with a generous dusting of cheese.

Pro Tip

If the sauce looks too thick near the end, stir in a splash of hot water to loosen it.
