Arrabbiata is a spicy sauce, typical of the Lazio region, and more specifically from Rome. 'Penne all'Arrabbiata' somehow represents the essence of Roman people: passionate, a bit 'stroppy', noisy and tempting all at the same time. The Pasta all'arrabbiata - 'angry' pasta - was so called because when you eat it you risk turning red in the face, just as you do when you get angry, due to its spiciness! Enjoy this delicious, very Italian dish and.. go easy on the chili!!
