Pasta Arrabiata

Ingredients

 400 g Tin of Tomatoes
 350 g Penne or Rigatoni
 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 1 tbsp Parsley Stalks, finely chopped
 12 tsp Dried Chilli Flakes
 23 Garlic Cloves, crushed with the palm of your hand
 1 Small Piece of Pecorino or parmesan rind (optional)
 Salt and Pepper, for seasoning
 Chopped Parsley, for garnish

Method

1

Heat a large, heavy-based pan with olive oil.

2

Add diced bacon and use a wooden spoon to brown it evenly for 1-2 minutes. Introduce garlic and chopped parsley stalks to infuse the oil with their fragrance.

3

Incorporate the pasta and chili flakes, stirring thoroughly. Cover the mixture with tinned tomatoes and enough water to fully submerge the pasta. Include the cheese rind if desired.

4

Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta reaches al dente consistency.

5

Discard the cheese rind and garlic before serving. Optionally, garnish with a dusting of pecorino or parmigiano and chopped parsley.
