So today we will cook together the pasta all "Arrabbiata: a very simple dish that reflects, in some ways, the" peperino "character of the Romans.

How to peel tomatoes?

As an alternative to fresh tomatoes, you can use tomato puree, chopped pulp or peeled tomatoes.- Pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and flavor with a clove of garlic, whole or, for a more intense flavor, cut into small pieces. Chop a couple of hot peppers and add them to the hot oil.
- Pour the diced tomato pulp into the spicy oil, wait for it to boil and cook with the lid on for 15 minutes, maintaining a moderate flame. The sauce must not dry out too much: in this case, add a couple of tablespoons of pasta cooking water.
- To lower the acidity of the tomato, halfway through cooking, add a teaspoon of sugar to the sauce.
