Casa Rinaldi Arrabbiata Sauce

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Arrabbiata literally means “angry” in Italian, and this delicious angry sauce has Roman origins. It’s a spicy pasta sauce made with quality tomatoes, chilis, and Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is very flavorful, and the spicy kick is pronounced but not overwhelming.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Casa Rinaldi Arrabbiata Sauce is great with pastas, especially ones that cling or scoop sauce up well, like penne or fusilli. This sauce is ready to use, straight out of the jar. Simply heat it up, and mix it in with your pasta.

ANGRY BUT AMAZING

Arrabbiata, or sugo all’arrabbiata, has origins that date back to 1950s and 1960s Rome. Its name literally means “angry” in Italian, so you can say this is basically “angry sauce.” It was traditionally made with only olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, and dried red chili peppers. But nowadays, you will find versions made with basil and onion, as well.
