Penne Arrabiata Sauce | Italian Sauce Recipe | Vegan Spatula

Hello and welcome to my channel Vegan Spatula. Let the food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Today we are making penne arrabbiata which is world's favourite and also known as red sauce pasta. So this classic Italian pasta recipe is all about fresh tomatoes and chillies. Arrabbiata is an Italian word means angry. Angry because it's a fiery spicy tomato sauce. So guys let's start with arrabbiata sauce. The first thing we have to do is blanching the tomatoes. So blanching the tomato means pan on stove with water. To blanch the tomatoes you need to put a slit on tomatoes in a cross. So the water is boiling. Drop tomatoes very carefully into the water. By the clock only 10 seconds you need to boil them. Keep the cold water ready. Here it is. Take out the tomatoes. Put them straight to cold water. So this is 1 cup of pasta. It can be 200 grams of pasta. This is whole wheat penne I'm using here. Just a little bit of salt. And a teaspoon of oil. Peel the tomatoes. This is how blanching is done. You can see the peel is coming off very easily. Chop the tomatoes and also deseed them. To start with we need garlic. Lot of garlic because the sauce is about garlic, tomatoes, chillies and olive oil. Smash them and chop them. 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Make sure you won't heat it. The garlic should go in the cold oil. Remove from stove. Add chilli flakes or if you want to use fresh red chillies you can use. Almost 1 tablespoon of red chilli. Back to stove. Add in the tomatoes. Salt. Half a teaspoon of black pepper powder. And allow it to cook for some time. Also adding 3 tablespoons of tomato puree. I like vegetables in my pasta so I'll grill a few vegetables. You can completely skip this step. That's perfectly okay if you're not adding vegetables to the pasta. So I'm adding broccoli. Some yellow pepper. And red pepper. And few mushrooms also. To the grill pan on the stove. You need to grease the pan with just a very little amount of oil. Maybe 4-5 drops of oil would work. Just spread it evenly. Add the mushrooms. Add the peppers. Broccoli I've added. You can add any vegetables that you like. You can add zucchini, yellow zucchini, green zucchini. Some salt. Fresh ground black pepper. Stain the pasta and put directly to the sauce. Give it a toss. Vegetables are also grilled. Put them into the pan. And mix well. Switch off the flame. Add dried parsley. You can also use fresh parsley. So your home cooked Italian penne arrabbiata is ready to serve. So guys do try this recipe at home. It's full of Italian flavours. And as we have used whole wheat pasta. It's full of nutrition. So here comes a tip. Whenever you go buy pasta. Buy 100% whole wheat pasta or brown based pasta. They are high in fibre. They are highly nutritious.
