Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, (minced)
  • 1 small red chili, (seeds removed and minced)
  • 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup parmesan (grated, plus more for serving)
  • 8 oz rigatoni
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • salt and cracked pepper (to taste)
  • basil (for topping)

Instructions

  • Heat a small saucepan to medium heat and add the olive oil and shallots and saute until translucent but not browned, about 4-5 minutes. Then, add the red chili, garlic, wine, and season with salt and pepper. Let that cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
  • While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook your rigatoni according to the package directions, usually about 10 minutes.
  • Once the rigatoni is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pot. Then, return the rigatoni back to the pot and add the reserved pasta water, cooked arrabbiata sauce, lemon, juice, and parmesan.
  • Gently toss the pasta under medium-low heat until the sauce is thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with additional parmesan and fresh basil.
