Penne All'Arrabbiata

Woke up today with quite an itch to cook. Unfortunately due to my laziness, what I am able to whip up is limited to what is available in the house - which often means pasta. In any case, I decided to try something different today and tried my hand at Arrabbiata. It wasn't too bad even though I did not follow the recipe strictly. At least C appreciated it and said it was nice!
