Pasta Arrabbiata – Viva Italia !

img_9339My basil did not survive these winter days, but this does not stop me from cooking my favorite dish –  Fresh Pasta. This is a simple recipe for a spicy Pasta Arrabbiata, which I absolutely love. You can add toppings like black olives, fresh herbs or Parmesan Cheese according to your taste. Served with some pasta al dente – All I can say is Viva Italia!
