Craving a generous, spicy Italian dish that is ready in just a few minutes? These Spaghetti all’Arrabbiata showcase the Benso Arrabbiata Sauce, a tomato sauce with a deliciously spicy character. A few simple ingredients, a generous amount of Parmesan and a drizzle ofBenso Organic Olive Oil are all you need to prepare a sun-kissed dish bursting with Mediterranean flavours.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 400 g spaghetti
- 2 jars of Benso Arrabbiata Sauce (200 g each)
- 2 tbspBenso organic olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 60 g freshly grated Parmesan
- A few red chilli flakes, to taste
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, keeping them al dente. Before draining, reserve a small ladleful of the cooking water.
Meanwhile, gently heat the Benso olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the finely chopped garlic clove and let it infuse the oil for about one minute, without allowing it to brown.
Add the Benso Arrabbiata Sauce and gently heat for 5 to 7 minutes. For an even spicier version, add a few red chilli flakes. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in a little of the reserved pasta cooking water.
Add the drained spaghetti directly to the pan and toss thoroughly for one to two minutes so that every strand is well coated with the sauce. Add half of the Parmesan and toss again.
Divide the spaghetti between the plates and serve immediately. Finish with the remaining freshly grated Parmesan, a twist of black pepper and, for a smooth, fruity touch, a light drizzle ofBenso Organic Olive Oil.
Benso Tip
The secret to delicious Spaghetti all’Arrabbiata lies in the balance between the heat of the sauce, the fruity smoothness of the olive oil and the al dente texture of the pasta. Taste the Benso Arrabbiata Sauce before adding extra chilli, so you can easily adjust the intensity of the dish to your taste.
For a delicious variation, add a few black olives or serve the spaghetti with small spoonfuls of Benso Black Olive Paste. And for more ways to effortlessly transform pasta, bruschetta and antipasti, explore our selection of Benso sauces and spreads.
