Ingredients

Bruschetta

  • 3/4 cup Tomatoes diced small
  • 2 tsp Red onion minced
  • 1 clove Garlic grated
  • 2 tsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Fresh basil chopped
  • 3 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 slices Crusty bread sliced thin about 1/2 inch thick

Pasta

  • 1 TBSP Kosher salt
  • 6 oz Penne pasta
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup Tomato paste
  • 1/4 TBSP Red pepper flakes use more or less depending on the desired level of spiciness to taste
  • 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
  • Flaky sea salt to taste
  • 2 TBSP Parmigiano Reggiano grated

Sparkling Water

  • 24 oz Sparkling water cold

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add kosher salt. While water is coming to a boil, prep bruschetta.
  • Prep tomatoes, onion, and garlic for bruschetta. Then mix together all bruschetta ingredients (except the bread) in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until you are ready to serve.
  • Once the water is boiling, cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Once tender, drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  • Make Arrabiata sauce: Mince garlic per instruction above. Set a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and pepper flakes; reduce the heat to low and stir just until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and remove from the heat.
  • Place sliced bread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown.
  • Finish pasta: Add the pasta to the tomato sauce along with a small amount of the reserved pasta water to desired consistency. Stir and toss over medium heat until the pasta is well coated. Season with salt to taste, drizzle with oil, and toss well.
  • Finish bruschetta: Spoon the bruschetta mixture onto the bread.
  • Serve: Top the pasta with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Enjoy with bruschetta and sparkling water.
