I thoroughly enjoy any Italian dish, especially an arrabbiata with its tomato base sauce. The word “arrabbiata” literally means “angry” in Italian, and it refers to the heat in the sauce. Depending on how many chillis you add to an arrabbiata sauce, it can be mild or extremely angry!
The standard recipe is for a fairly straightforward chilli and tomato sauce. However, I find the traditional recipe lacking which is why I have created this version which adds bacon and mushroom.
