Penne Arrabiata options
Not everyone can tolerate wheat, so feel free to change to a gluten-free variety. If you can’t find penne pasta, you can also use macaroni or any other shaped pasta.
Some people also prefer wholewheat pasta and that will work well with this recipe too!
Be sure to follow the cooking instructions on the packaging as time will vary depending on the pasta. The pasta should be cooked but slightly firm — al dente.
Mix the sauce first, then add the seasoning to taste
Once you’ve added the tomato sauce to the white wine and garlic, then add the herbs. You can adjust the amount depending on how seasoned you like your pasta to be. If you want to add cayenne pepper, you can add it in at this step too.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce
Once the pasta is cooked add it to the sauce. You might need to transfer the sauce into a large pot to make sure that you thoroughly mix the sauce through the pasta.
