Notes

  • Cook the pasta until al-dente.
  • Only use 1/2 lb of pasta if you like it saucy and creamy. If you use the entire box, it will be a little dry.
  • Double the sauce recipe if you use 1 lb of pasta!
  • If you can’t find chopped Calabrian chilis feel free to use red crushed chili flakes instead.
