Arrabbiata sauce (Italian: sugo all'arrabbiata) is a spicy Italian pasta sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, and dried red chili peppers cooked in olive oil. The name "arrabbiata" literally means "angry" in Italian, referring to the spiciness of the chili peppers.

Origin

Arrabbiata sauce originates from the Lazio region of Italy, particularly from the city of Rome. It is a traditional sauce that has been enjoyed for generations and is a staple in Roman cuisine.

Ingredients

The primary ingredients of Arrabbiata sauce include:
