Recipe: Spicy Pasta Arrabiata/ Penne Arrabiata/Pasta in Red Sauce




A pasta lover like me starts craving for it if I don't have it for long. I relish red sauce pasta more than white sauce. No offence to the white sauce pasta lovers but I like the tangy tomato flavour of the red sauce pasta more. I had made the "Desi Macroni" countless times but never tried this Pasta Arrabiata at home. So, this desire arose when I recently had an amazing Pasta Arrabiata in a restaurant and decided to try it at home soon. Some search on google to understand how it is made and mixing few of the recipes decided to make of my own. And bingo ! it turned out to be perfect and everyone at home enjoyed it. So, read more to find the recipe :
