Ingredients that make the difference
- 250 g penne rigate
- 2–3 tablespoons Nicolas Vahé rosemary oil
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 red chili pepper (sliced)

- 1 teaspoon Nicolas Vahé Sea Salt Pyramids
- Freshly ground black pepper from Nicolas Vahé
- A pinch of sugar
- Fresh parsley for garnish
How to make Penne Arrabbiata with Rosemary Oil
- Cook the penne 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 skillet over low heat. Add garlic and chili and gently sauté for 2 minutes until wonderfully fragrant (don’t let it brown!).
- Pour in 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 thickened.
- Toss the penne through the sauce. Add a splash of the reserved cooking water if you want extra creaminess.
- Serve with fresh parsley and another swirl of that elegant rosemary oil. Your Italian classic with Scandinavian flair is ready!
Tip: Variations for the adventurous cook
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or grilled zucchini just before serving for extra layers of flavor.
- Swap chili pepper for chili flakes if you like it really spicy.
- Make it festive with burrata or goat cheese. Pure indulgence!
