Notes

  • You can even add whole tomatoes chopped finely or use tomato puree.
  • Cook pasta until its soft yet firm enough to bite, don't overcook it
  • If you get fresh basil leaves or parsley, then add it. I used dried parsley.
  • You can even use grated cheese for garnish. Parmesan cheese is traditionally used for penne arrabbiata.
  • You can add fresh basil leaves or parsley if you have.
  • You can replace oregano with mixed herbs.
