Spicy Spaghetti Arrabbiata

Spicy Spaghetti Arrabbiata





















It has been a little time since my last post and I hope to add a few recipes to the blog over the next few weeks, I will start it off today with a tasty dish of pasta. Pasta tends to be a delicious part of my entree meals through out the month and my favourite types of pasta are Penne, Spaghetti and Linguine. I also tend to incorporate spice into my meals, now I know not everyone is a big fan of spicy food but I just love it. Those that have been to restaurants especially Italian ones have had or seen arrabbiata on the menu, which basically means spicy sauce. I decided to use spaghetti but any long strain of pasta would work, like linguine, fettuccine or angel hair. Then to bring in the heat I used a tomato sauce with chilies as well as chili flakes the amount in the recipe provides a decent amount of spice but use more or less depending on your taste buds. I also decided to go heavy on veggies but you can omit or even add more to the recipe as you like as for the ground meat I used pork because basically it was all I had on hand and worked great but give beef a whirl.
