Gluten-Free Penne Arrabbiata is a spicy Italian pasta dish that brings a delightful kick to your meal with its rich tomato sauce and garlic. Perfect for a quick dinner, this dish is both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free penne pasta - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Red chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh basil leaves - a handful, torn
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the Arrabbiata sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the torn basil leaves.
7. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
