Penne Arrabiata is a classic Italian pasta dish known for its bold and spicy flavor. Originating from Rome, "arrabiata" translates to "angry," referring to its fiery kick. This dish features penne pasta coated in a vibrant, tomato-based sauce, made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and red chili flakes for heat. Often garnished with fresh parsley and sometimes grated Parmesan, it’s a simple yet flavorful recipe. From a nutritional standpoint, Penne Arrabiata is relatively light, as it avoids rich, creamy sauces. The olive oil provides healthy fats, while tomatoes and garlic are excellent sources of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. However, the dish's carbohydrate content, mainly from the pasta, can be high, so portion control is essential. For a healthier version, opt for whole-grain penne or add vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrients and fiber.
