Equipment

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 400 g Rigatoni pasta
- 800 g Canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 Garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp Red chili flakes or more, to taste
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste

Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the rigatoni according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add minced garlic and red chili flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld.
- Drain the cooked rigatoni, reserving about half a cup of pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta to the arrabbiata sauce, tossing to combine.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried oregano to the sauce. Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preferred spice level. A splash of red wine can also deepen the flavor of the sauce if desired.
