Creating your own Pasta Arrabbiata is a simple process. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious result:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add Garlic and Chili: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
