PENNE ALL'ARRABBIATA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic and chilli flakes for 2-3 mins until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins until the mixture has slightly thickened. Season well.
• Cook the penne in a pan of boiling salted water for 10 mins until al dente. Drain, reserving a mugful of the pasta cooking water.

PENNE ALL'ARRABBIATA WITH SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND BASIL

Steps:

• Using a fork, pierce the sausages thoroughly and cook them in a large pot filled with ½-inch of water for about 20 minutes. When the water evaporates, fry the sausages in their own fat for another 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. Place them on a paper towel to drain.
• Remove the fat from the pot, add olive oil and onions, then cook, covered, for about 25 minutes on low heat. Next, add the peppers, uncover the pot and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add the tomato sauce, water, wine, and oregano then season with salt, pepper, and red chiles to preference. After bringing it to the boil, leave the liquid to simmer for half an hour, partially covered. In the meantime, slice the sausages into ½-inch thick rounds. After 30 minutes have passed, add the sausages and the fennel seeds into the pot, then cook all together, uncovered, for another 20 minutes.
• Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain.
• Add the basil and chopped garlic to the sauce, cook for another 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over hot pasta, garnish with cheese, and optionally thyme.
