  • Next, using the same pan, sauté the garlic, parsley, and chilli flakes for a few minutes. This will infuse the oil with their aromatic flavours, adding a delightful kick to the dish.

  • Add the tomatoes and a sprinkle of sugar to balance out the acidity. Stir everything together and let the sauce simmer on low heat until it reaches a thick and rich consistency.

  • Meanwhile, follow the instructions on the package to cook the penne pasta until it is al dente. The pasta will nicely absorb the spicy sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.

  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the sauce. Mix everything together, ensuring that each strand is coated in the tantalizing tomato and chilli sauce.
  • For the finishing touch, grate some Parmesan cheese over the dish. The sharpness of the cheese will beautifully contrast the spiciness of the arrabiata sauce.
