Arrabiata Casarecce recipe for 2 people.

Ingredients:

• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 can 400g crushed tomatoes
• 200g yellow lentil casarecce

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a bit of pasta cooking water before draining.
2. Make the Arrabbiata Sauce:
   • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned.
   • Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red chilli. Stir to combine.
3. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Allow the sauce to simmer over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. You can also blend the sauce for a smoother sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
   • Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the Arrabbiata sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water.
5. Finish and Garnish:
   • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
6. Serve:
   • Plate up and, if desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese.
