Description

The classic Italian dish gets spicier and angrier in no time with this weeknight pasta.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces penne
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon jarred chopped calabrian chiles
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil, plus more for serving
  • grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook according to package directions for al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Drain pasta; set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, chiles, honey, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and add reserved pasta and cooking liquid. Stir until sauce clings to pasta, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in basil. Serve with grated Parmesan and additional basil, as desired.
