My go to weeknight pasta sauce is arrabbiata, and honestly, it's saved me countless times when I need dinner on the table fast. This Roman classic comes together in just thirty minutes with ingredients you probably already have at home, making it incredibly budget friendly. I love using lots of garlic and red pepper flakes for that signature kick, and here's the thing: garlic is packed with allicin, a compound that supports heart health and immunity. The beauty of this sauce lies in its simplicity. You don't need fancy techniques or rare ingredients, just quality olive oil, garlic, peppers, and tomatoes. It's the kind of recipe that reminds you how far a few good ingredients can take you.
