Arrabbiata sauce, or sugo all’arrabbiata in Italian, is a spicy sauce for pasta made from garlic, tomatoes, and dried red chili peppers cooked in olive oil. The sauce originates from the Lazio region, around Rome. Arrabbiata literally means “angry” in Italian; the name of the sauce refers to the spiciness of the chili peppers.
