INGREDIENTS

  • 1 box penne pasta or any other short pasta

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 5 cloves garlic minced

  • 2 14.5- oz cans plain tomato sauce

  • 1-2 teaspoons red chili flakes + more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon dry oregano

  • 1 teaspoon cane sugar

  • Sea salt to taste

​

WALNUT PARMESAN :

  • ½ cup walnuts toasted or raw

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • ½ teaspoon mellow miso

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a saucepan warm the oil over medium heat.

​

2. Add the minced garlic, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Sauté until the garlic turns slightly golden. Be careful not to burn it!

​

3. Add the tomato sauce, and stir. Then add in the red chili flakes, oregano, and sugar. Stir well.

​

4. Gently simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes with the lid ajar on the saucepan.

​

5. Season to taste with salt.

​

6. To make the pasta: boil 4 quarts of salted water, add pasta and boil for 6-7 minutes for al dente pasta (I add 1-2 more minutes because I like a softer pasta). Drain well, then toss immediately with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in the colander.

​

7. Toss the pasta with half of the arrabiata sauce. Save the remaining sauce for the next time. It keeps well in the freezer.
