Chef tips
For the best Arrabbiata sauce, start the chili flakes and garlic in cold olive oil and heat them slowly. This lets the spice infuse the oil perfectly without the garlic burning. For a family favorite, top with kosher Parmesan or shredded mozzarella. If the kids are sensitive to heat, swap some chili for sweet paprika for a milder, rich flavor everyone can enjoy.
