Ingredients
- 12 ounces Almond flour pasta (penne style)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Freshly grated lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the almond flour penne according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the red chili flakes to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Step 4
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Season with sea salt and black pepper and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked almond flour penne to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves and parsley.
Step 8
Transfer the Paleo Penne Arrabbiata to serving plates and sprinkle with freshly grated lemon zest.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
