SILVANO MARCHETTO'S PENNE ALL'ARRABIATA

Steps:

• Over medium heat, brown the 2 garlic cloves in the olive oil. When thoroughly brown, remove and discard.
• Add the chopped garlic clove and let sizzle for a moment, watching carefully that it doesn't burn.
• Add tomatoes and their juice to the garlic in the pan, breaking up the tomatoes with a fork. Leave to cook for 10 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
• While tomatoes are cooking, wash and dry the basil leaves and cut into ribbons. Cut the whole chili pepper in half and discard the seeds. Chop the pepper roughly. Add chili pepper and basil to the sauce in the pan, stir well and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if desired. Leave to simmer over low heat while preparing pasta.
• Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and when water reboils, add pasta all at once. Stir vigorously with a long-handled wooden spoon or fork to bring quickly back to a boil. Cook until done.
• Drain and turn into a warmed serving bowl. Dress with the sauce and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium (10-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the garlic has softened and is lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, place them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until they're roughly chopped. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the food processor and pulse again to chop the garlic. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot with the olive oil, add the fennel, red pepper flakes, red wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste for seasonings (it will be very spicy!), and keep warm over very low heat.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the penne and cook according to the directions of the package.
• Two minutes before the pasta is al dente, using a wire or spider strainer, lift the pasta out of the boiling water and add it to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Spoon the pasta into low shallow bowls, sprinkle with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot, and add 3 tablespoons kosher salt.

• Drop the pasta into the boiling water, and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
• Add the pasta and the reserved pasta water to the tomato sauce, stir and toss over medium heat until the pasta is well coated. Season with salt if necessary, then add the remaining oil, tossing well. Serve immediately, with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano on the side.
