How to Make Easy and Addictive Pasta Arrabbiata in 20 Minutes

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Bring to a simmer.

Add sugar and salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through.

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Serve hot.
