Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium zucchini -- diced

1 medium green bell pepper -- seeded & diced

1 cup diced eggplant

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 pepperocini peppers -- seeded & minced

-- to 3

1 28 oz can stewed tomatoes

1 28 oz can tomato puree

2 tablespoons dried parsley

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 pound capellini or linguine

2 scallions -- chopped fine

 

In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, and

garlic and cook over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally,

until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the pepperoncinis, stewed tomatoes,

tomato puree, and seasonings. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 35 to 45

minutes, stirring occasionally. (Partially cover the pan to keep the sauce from

splattering.) Meanwhile, place the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water,

stir, and return to a boil. (I prefer to snap the noodles in half before

cooking.) Cook according to package directions until al dente (4 to 6 minutes

for capellini, 9 to 12 minutes for linguini). Drain and transfer to warm

serving plates. Spoon the red sauce over the pasta and top with the scallions.

Serve with warm bread.

NOTES : Arrabiata, which means " mad " or " enraged " in Italian lingo, is a spicy

dish seasoned with red pepper flakes and pepperoncinis (pickled Italian hot

peppers). The sauce is feisty and fluid, but rich enough to cling to the pasta.

I include a lot of vegetables in my arrabiata.
