Spaghetti arrabbiata is a simple, homemade pasta dish with al dente spaghetti tossed in a spicy tomato sauce topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1-pound spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 28-ounce cans San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water; drain remaining water.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil to medium. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, San Marzano tomatoes and ½ cup pasta water. Bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes. Crush the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Stir in salt, sugar and black pepper. Cook another 15-20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  3. Add cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Substitution Tip: For a higher protein, higher fiber meal, use a spaghetti such as Barilla Protein+ (my favorite!).
