🌶️ NEW Recipe: The most mispelled Italian dish in restaurants all around the World 🌍


Hey Reader!

It sounds like a joke but it's not. I actually have fun looking for this dish on Italian restaurants menus when I travel. It's the easiest way to find out if the restaurant is REALLY Italian or not. (Spoiler, most times it's not).

If you want to play too, look for Penne all'Arrabbiata.

9 times out of 10, you'll find it mispelled, with only one R, or one B, or two Ts. That means, whoever wrote the menu is NOT Italian. :)

Apart from the tricky spelling, this is one of the easiest and most classic Italian dishes, loved throughout Italy. 5 simple ingredients, 30 minutes, and a delicious spicy pasta dish.

Penne all'Arrabbiata (Spicy Tomato Sauce)

Penne all’Arrabbiata is a fiery, flavorful Roman pasta dish made with just a few simple ingredients: garlic, olive oil, chili, and tomato sauce. The name “arrabbiata” literally means “angry” in Italian, referring to the spicy kick of chili that gives the sauce its bold flavor.
