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.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect balance of flavors in your arrabiata sauce, use high-quality ingredients. Start with ripe tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh garlic and chili peppers. You can also add a touch of red wine or balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the level of spiciness to your preference. If you like it mild, use less chili pepper or add a bit of sugar to balance out the heat. For a spicier sauce, use more chili pepper or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions. This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- For a more flavorful sauce, sauté the garlic and chili peppers in olive oil until they are fragrant before adding the tomatoes. This will help to release their flavor and create a richer sauce.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add a bit of tomato paste or cornstarch. You can also simmer the sauce for a longer period of time to reduce it and thicken it.
- Serve the penne arrabiata immediately, garnished with fresh basil or parsley. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
