Family Size Arrabbiata Sauce

Enjoy more freedom in the kitchen; let Nicolina cook for you! Rustichella d'Abruzzo offers a selection of exquisite artisanal tomato sauces made with top-quality ingredients, created by the matriarch of the family herself, Nicolina Peduzzi. 

Arrabbiata means "angry" in Italian, and this sauce, made with crushed hot red chile peppers, garlic and onion, is indeed very spicy. Best with hearty, long cut pasta such as Bucatini, Chitarra, or Fettuccine.

We have been very lucky to share many wonderful meals at home with Nicolina, Gianlugi and Stefania's mother, and the entire Peduzzi family of Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta. As Nicolina prepares the perfect sauce for a particular shape of pasta, one can't help but notice the incredible quality of her ingredients. Her sauces are simple and made with produce from the family farm near Moscufo, on the Vestini hills overlooking the Adriatic Sea to the east and the great Apennine Mountains to the west.

The Rustichella d'Abruzzo sauces are made with high-quality ingredients such as those Nicolina uses at home in Pianella. Vine tomatoes picked at perfect ripeness, as well as the finest extra virgin olive oil from Abruzzo, set these sauces into a category of their own. Nicolina's secret magic touch can be tasted in each one of the jars. Arrabiata
