An Italian recipe from CookingLight. This dish's name-arrabbiata-comes from the Italian word for angry because of the spicy tomato and red pepper sauce. If you want, double the tomato sauce and freeze half for a jump start on a future meal. Taste test and if you like your sauce spicier, increase the red pepper. Spinach pasta would be great with this! If your family likes mushrooms add them in, too. Add french bread and a salad, and mangiare-eat!
