Arrabiata sauce is my favorite among all the pasta sauces. The reason is obvious, it's hot & spicy. "Arrabiata" literally means "angry" in Italian and the name of the sauce is due to the heat of chili peppers. This sauce is very quick & simple to make. Here is my take on it.

Confusing recipe. It mentions honey in the ingredients and then never mentions it again. When or where does the honey go?
