I feel it my moral obligation to share this recipe-For the good of all who read-It is one of my boys favorite dinners—Penne Arrabiata (ala roommate Lauren C.- although if you know me, you know full well I modify every recipe to my own liking so this has undergone revisions and is quite forgiving and flexible) This qualifies as a great dinner on numerous fronts
1. It is fast- whole thing start to finish in under 25 minutes
2. The ingredients are staples, things you have kicking around and so something you can make spur of the moment –no advance planning needed
3. It is so yummy- one of smart son’s favorite foods
4. It is cheap—Really to serve 4- probably costs $1- $1.50
So here it goes
Penne Arrabiata- serves 6
8 oz. Penne pasta
1 can diced tomatoes (I like the petite diced best)
6 cloves of garlic or 1 TBSP. chopped garlic in jar
1 medium onion chopped
1 ½ Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 t. or less of crushed red pepper flakes (vary this depending on how spicy you like it.
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil, add onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes, Sautee until onions are clear. Add tomatoes simmer for 20 min.
Meanwhile- Cook and drain pasta. Toss tomato mixture with penne. Top with fresh parmesan or mozzarella cheese-
** and of course serve with some goodgarlic bread- may I recommend the ecce panis semolina batard with homemade garlic butter
enjoy!
