Gluten Free Penne Arrabbiata Recipe
This Penne Arrabbiata is so easy, made with gluten free penne pasta. A spicy tomato, garlic and chilli sauce, garnished with basil and parmesan.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 150 g gluten free penne pasta (or pasta shape of choice)
- 1 tbsp virgin olive oil
- 15 g butter (or vegan butter)
- 400 g finely chopped tin of tomatoes
- 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 handful fresh basil (torn)
- 1 tbsp parmesan (or vegan parmesan)
Instructions
- First, get a pan of heavily salted water onto the hob to boil, ready for the pasta. While it heats, melt the butter and olive oil in a separate, large flat-based pan on a low heat.
- Once melted, add the garlic, chilli flakes and dried basil. Fry gently on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until the garlic softens.
- Add the tinned tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to the pan. Stir, bring to the boil then simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes.
- When the water is boiling, cook the gluten free pasta as per the pack instructions - usually 8-10 minutes in boiling water. Before draining, reserve 2 tbsp of the pasta water.
- Add the torn basil to the tomatoes and stir through. Then add the pasta water and the strained pasta and gently stir until coated. Serve immediately and garnish with some extra torn basil and the parmesan.
Notes
- Spice Levels: The amount of chilli makes this fairly spicy - if you like it mild just add 1 tsp of chilli flakes. Add more if you like it really hot!
- Serving Suggestion: Serve this penne arrabbiata with some homemade gluten free garlic bread or cheesy doughballs for a treat.
- Storing: Any leftover arrabbiata sauce should be kept in the fridge or frozen. Simply reheat and add to freshly cooked pasta before serving.
