Arrabiata sauce | How to make arrabiata sauce at home ?

I always love homemade easy pasta sauce recipes.

Arrabbiata sauce, or sugo all'arrabbiata in Italian, is a spicy sauce for pasta made from garlic, tomatoes, and red chili peppers cooked in olive oil. "Arrabbiata" literally means "angry" in Italian, and the name of the sauce is due to the heat of the chili peppers

This scrumptious tomato and garlic sauce goes perfectly with the always delicious penne pasta.  and may have chopped fresh parsley sprinkled on top.  There are many variations to the original recipe of arrabbiata sauce; a few include onions to be fried with the garlic and tomatoes.

Due to the small number of ingredients needed in order to make this sauce, it is quite inexpensive. 

Though most commonly used for pasta, arrabbiata can be used for other food. This sauce can also be used to accentuate or accommodate meats, poultry, seafood, bread and food similar to pizza
