How to make Penne Arrabbiata with Rosemary Oil
- Cook the penne until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain, but save half a cup of the cooking water.
- Heat the rosemary olive oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add the garlic and chili and gently fry for 2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown!).
- Add the diced tomatoes and season with sea salt pyramids, a little sugar, and plenty of fresh black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until nicely thick.
- Toss the penne through the sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved cooking water for extra creaminess.
- Serve with fresh parsley and another swirl of that elegant rosemary oil. Your Italian classic with a fresh twist is ready!
Tip: Variations for the adventurous cook
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or grilled zucchini shortly before serving for extra layers of flavor.
- Replace the chili pepper with chili flakes if you like it really spicy.
- Make it festive with burrata or goat cheese. Pure indulgence!
