Spicy Arrabbiata Spaghetti

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the red chili flakes to the pan and sauté for another 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Pour the canned tomatoes into the pan, including the juice. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Season with salt to taste. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

5. 5

   Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked spaghetti to the pan. Toss well to coat the spaghetti with the arrabbiata sauce.

6. 6

   Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the spaghetti. Serve hot, with additional red chili flakes if desired for extra heat.
