Our 'Furious Penne', named after the spicy essence from crushed red pepper flakes, blends al dente pasta bathed in a robust, tangy tomato sauce with a hint of garlic. The recipe is as furious in flavor as it is quick and easy to whip-up.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine olive oil, minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Gently heat for about 10 minutes, until the oil is fragrant.

Increase the heat to medium, add the chopped red onion to the saucepan and cook until softened, around 5 minutes.
3
Pour the crushed tomatoes, including the liquid, into the saucepan. Season with kosher salt and simmer for 15 minutes until a thick sauce forms.

While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook it until al dente, according to package instructions, approximately 9 minutes. Drain the pasta.
