easy arrabbiata pasta recipe

This morning, we enjoyed a breakfast of pasta arrabbiata, followed by a tiramisu dessert, so that we can stay hot and alert for the entire day!



Since this recipe uses chillies & peppers, it had been named Arrabbiata", which literally means "angry" in Italian.

"Anger is a letter short of danger."

It is okay to be angry at particular things (e.g. unacceptable situations / people's behaviors) - after all we are human beings with emotions, but please do not let our anger prolong inside us, harming ourselves & others.

After this meal, let us convert the heat (anger) inside us into positive energy to transform our lives!
