Is it hot in here, or is it just our homemade pasta sauce? Meaning “angry,” all’arrabbiata gets its name from the fierce flavor brought by red peppers. Typically tomato based, this unique take adds cashews to achieve a delicately creamy texture that clings onto the pasta so well. It’s a perfect dish for everything from impressing your date to a simple and relaxing respite after a long day. Feel free to choose your favorite pasta (we recommend penne) and get extra saucy next Italian night.
