Penne All'Arrabbiata

...or really, a fancy way of saying 'spicy red sauce'.  This sauce was made using practically all fresh ingredients. The herbs were from our garden and the tomatoes and garlic from the farmers market.   My husband kept telling me this meal seemed boring because there were so few ingredients...until he tasted it!
