Penne All'Arrabbiata(Milano, Italy)

1. 1

   Heat the oil and gently fry the chopped onion and garlic until softened.

2. 2

   Add the chili pepper and fry gently for 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add the tomatoes with their juice, sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cook on a high flame, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   When the sauce is reduced and thick, check the season.

5. 5

   If you like a smoother sauce, you can pass the sauce through the medium disk of a food mill.

6. 6

   I usually just chop up the tomatoes with a fork and leave the sauce a bit chunky.

7. 7

   Add the chopped parsley just before serving.

8. 8

   Cook the pasta following the directions on the packet very carefully to avoid overcooking.
