Penne All'Arrabbiata is one of the most loved Italian pasta dish with its colourfull appearance, delicious Spicy taste and chunky texture . It's super tasty with a unique tomato and garlic sauce in olive oil which has got fragrant Italian herbs.
Insalata Caprese is the special Italian accompaniment which I have paired this pasta and it's my favourite! This is a crunchy , utterly simple Italian salad from the region of Campania. It has ripe red fresh tomatoes, crumbled mozzarella ( you can use feta also). It's drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and fresh basil or arugula! I used the humble cilantro as basil was over at the supermarket! But I have given a generous sprinkle of dried herbs like basil, oregano and thyme. The result is irresponsible combo of Italian flavours! Enjoy
