Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the chilli powder and fry for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and mixed herbs. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce develops a thicker consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
  3. To serve, toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese.

Cook's tips

All'arrabbiata means 'angry style' in Italian. Taste the sauce before serving and add extra chilli powder to make it as 'angry' as you like.
