    The shape of pasta traditionally used for this dish is penne rigate, small-ridged tubes cut diagonally at the ends. Penne with Arrabiata sauce and bacon is a cool dish to serve with red wine and a green salad with oul and vinegat dressing The name of this dish literally means “angry pasta,” because it is served very hot, dressed with hot red pepper.

    Penne is a type of pasta originating in Italy. They have a cylindrical shape and, usually, their ends cut diagonally. Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna, deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather" or "quill"). In Italy, penne are produced in two variants: "penne lisce" (smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each noodle.In The Sopranos episode "Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request...", Tony Soprano nicknames his new bodyguard Perry Annunziata "Penne Arrabiata." Comedian Eddie Izzard refers to penne all'arrabbiata as Darth Vader's food of choice in the Death Star canteen

    The video recipe is similar to the one made by Jamie Oliver and he chooses Spaghetti All’Arrabiata. Penne goes better though in my opnion.

    Penne all'arrabbiata is a Roman pasta dish ("penne": it means "pens", indeed they are little pointed pipes of pasta). Arrabiata sauce contains garlic, onions, tomato sauce and a lot of chili pepper, all cooked in olive oil, then used over the "penne" boiled in hot salted water. "All'arrabbiata" means "angry style", due to the heat of the peppers.
