Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground beef chuck
½ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 egg white
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 ½ fluid ounces extra-virgin olive oil
¾ cup sliced white button mushrooms
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
salt to taste
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Mix beef, panko, 1/4 cup parsley, egg white, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until combined. Form mixture into 12 meatballs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet; pan-fry meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove meatballs from heat.
  • Heat olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.

  • Stir penne pasta into meatball sauce; toss to coat. Stir pasta water into mixture if sauce becomes too dry. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parsley to serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This is the key to a great arrabiata sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little heat: Arrabbiata means "angry" in Italian, so this sauce is supposed to have a bit of a kick. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes you add to your taste.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to bring out the flavor of the other ingredients in the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the perfect texture for this dish.
  • Serve immediately: Arrabbiata sauce is best when served fresh. Enjoy it with a glass of your favorite Italian wine.
