Penne Arrabiata

    Ingredients

SERVES 2
200g dried penne
1 can of chopped tomatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
half an onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp chilli flakes
salt and black pepper
pinch of sugar(optional)
grated parmesan, to serve

Method
1. In a saucepan, gently cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion has softened. Add the chopped tomatoes, chilli flakes and sugar.
Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 25-30 minutes until thickened.
2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until cooked \'al dente\', and then drain the pasta.
3. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix in well. Serve with grated parmesan.

Arrabiata sauce is like, since most Arrabiatas that we have had in restaurants have slight variations in flavors. I guess it comes from the herbs used. But yes, arrabiatas have a thing in common and that's the heavy tang from tomatoes, which I totally adore.

( another simple way is , bring the arrabiata sauce and mix it with the boiled pasta ........... but i prefer home made is much tasty and healthy.............:))
