Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
-
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Pour the canned tomatoes into a bowl and crush them with a fork or your hands until you have a chunky consistency.
-
Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan with onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked pasta to the pan. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it's well coated, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
-
Divide the Pasta Arrabbiata into serving plates. Top each portion with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Serve hot and enjoy.
