Arrabbiata Sauce

Arrabbiata Sauce

Be warned: arrabiata means “angry” in Italian, hinting at this sauce’s surprisingly fiery kick. While it may look like your classic Pomodoro, Arrabbiata Sauce is made by infusing peperoncini into a garlicky olive oil, imbuing a subtle heat that punctuates each bite.  Served over your favorite pasta, it’s a welcome change that’s quick to make and faster to eat.
