Cooking Tips

• For a milder version, you can reduce the amount of red chili flakes or omit them altogether.
• You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the sauce to make it a heartier meal.
• Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Fettuccine Arrabiata is best served immediately while it is still hot and fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent the pasta from drying out.
