My go-to pasta, arrabbiata is spicy and absolutely delicious.

Traditionally it is prepared with garlic, onion, tomato and chilli flakes, but my version of arrabbiata is different, uses tricks that an Italian might frown on, and uses capers and olives which add more flavour to this already flavourful pasta. It even involves pre-cooking the tomatoes to fasten up the cooking process!

Do try it out and let me know if you like it, as much as I do ;)

Steps

35 mins

1

Assemble all the ingredients together
2

Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water and place tomatoes with slits made in the same water. Let them cook.
3

Heat olive oil in a pan and add roughly pounded garlic to it. Cook on low flame till it becomes golden brown.
4

Add finely chopped onion and cook on low flame till it becomes brown. I personally like the flavour that browned onions give to the pasta sauce. But you can cook them slightly lesser if you please.
5

Peel the tomatoes boiled in the spaghetti water and put in the cooked onions. Add salt, chilli flakes, olives and capers. Cook on a medium flame for 7-8 mins till the sauce thickens.
6

Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce. Make sure you don't cook the spaghetti in the water completely, since it needs to cook with the sauce as well.
7

Once cooked, add shavings of parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Mix.
8

Garnish with more parmesan cheese, fresh basil leaves, some chilli flakes, and serve!
