Description

Arrabiata means ‘angry’ and is a reference to the red pepper flakes in the sauce. I found this recipe years ago on the internet and while it may not be truly authentic, it’s darned good. What could be bad about any recipe that starts with frying up some bacon?

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Penne Rigate Pasta
  • 4 slices Bacon
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed And Chopped
  • 2 cans Diced Tomatoes, In Juice
  • ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Cut In Chiffonade

Preparation

Cook penne according to the package instructions. While penne is cooking, prepare the sauce.

Cut the bacon crosswise in approximately 1/4 inch slices. Cook in a large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from pan.

Add onion and garlic and cook for 5-8 minutes or until onion is softened. Add the tomatoes with their juice, the red pepper flakes and fresh basil.

Cook until the tomatoes have softened and broken down and the liquid is reduced by at least half. This takes about 10 minutes or so.

Taste sauce and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss well to coat. I like to add some additional fresh basil at this point. It brightens up the flavor.

Top servings with grated Parmesan cheese and more red pepper flakes (if you really like it spicy!).

Just one note: This recipe is best with fresh basil. I’ve tried using dried and it just doesn’t turn out the same!
