Crispino Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce brings together Calabrian tomatoes and hot chilli peppers for a spicy Italian tomato sauce. Made with 85% Italian tomato pulp and 3% Calabrian chilli peppers, it combines the natural sweetness of tomatoes with a distinctive chilli kick.

The recipe also features Tropea Calabria IGP red onions, extra virgin olive oil and basil. Produced in Calabria, southern Italy, the sauce is slowly steam-cooked to bring the ingredients together. Arrabbiata means "angry" in Italian, a reference to the fiery character of this popular pasta sauce.

Ready to use, with no added sugar or citric acid, this spicy tomato sauce is suitable for vegans and is gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Warm gently and toss through penne for the classic Italian dish penne all'arrabbiata. Add a little reserved pasta cooking water to help the sauce coat the pasta, then finish with fresh parsley or grated Pecorino, if you like.

It also works well with rigatoni or spaghetti, as a spicy pizza base or spooned over baked aubergines. Try it with roasted vegetables or use it to add chilli heat to a tomato-based stew.
