pasta all'arrabbiata

'arrabbiata' is italian for 'angry.' this pasta sure is angry, at least in the spicy & fiery sense. {courtesy of the addition of peperoncino, or chili pepper.} arrabbiata sauce is so very simple to make, with few ingredients: olive oil, garlic, onion, tomato, peperoncino, and parsley. traditionally arrabbiata is served with penne pasta, however, i used capellini instead. yum.

{part of the fun in cooking is making a mess.}

{simmering sauce.}
