Penne Arrabiata
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 5 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 5 servings

Ingredients

2/3 cup good olive oil
1 cup whole peeled garlic cloves (24 cloves)
2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup dry red wine, such as Chianti
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup julienned fresh basil leaves, plus extra for serving
1 pound dry penne rigate, such as DeCecco
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions

In a medium (10-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the garlic has softened and is lightly browned.

Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, place them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until they’re roughly chopped. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the food processor and pulse again to chop the garlic. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot with the olive oil, add the fennel, red pepper flakes, red wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste for seasonings (it will be very spicy!), and keep warm over very low heat.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the penne and cook according to the directions of the package.

Two minutes before the pasta is al dente, using a wire or spider strainer, lift the pasta out of the boiling water and add it to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Spoon the pasta into low shallow bowls, sprinkle with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

  1. Ina I prefer your cooking any day over Martha Stewart, she hasn’t a thing over you, in my book! I have cooked 100 of your recipes 😘Chef’s Kiss and PS your Coq au vin blows hers away, Love you and I hope you Keep inspiring us to keep cooking! ❤

  2. Real Italians don’t eat that much garlic. This recipe is American Italian food. Your typical Italian would be appalled at that much garlic.

  3. Ina Garten!! I loved watching your show on TV. For years I enjoyed watching you and Jeffery too. Glad to see you here.❤🧑‍🍳❤💯 Your food is so very good.

  4. sauteing the garlic cloves in olive oil (not as much as Ina used) really does improve any tomato based sauce. Like roasting garlic, it will lose its pundit flavour.

  5. I feel so sorry for the poor people who have to clean up after Ina, she is such a messy cook and uses far more equipment than she needs to. When draining the liquid from the tomatoes just part open the can and drain the liquid off!

  6. Tomatoes you are using are grown in New Jersey. Real San Marzano tomatoes are (DOP certified grown in Italy.
