Arrabbiata sauce, known in Italian as arrabbiata (arabbiata in Romanesco dialect which means literally "angry"),[1] is a spicy sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, peperoncino, parsley, and extra virgin olive oil. The sauce originates from the Lazio region of Italy,[2] and particularly from the city of Rome.[3]
Origin of the name
[edit]Arrabbiata literally means 'angry' in Italian;[2] in Romanesco dialect the adjective arabbiato denotes a characteristic (in this case spiciness) pushed to excess.[1] In Rome, in fact, any food cooked in a pan with a lot of oil, garlic, and peperoncino so as to provoke a strong thirst is called "arrabbiato" (e.g. broccoli arrabbiati).[1]
History
[edit]The invention of the dish dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, at a time when spicy food was in vogue in Roman cuisine.[3] The dish has been celebrated several times in Italian movies, notably in Marco Ferreri's La Grande Bouffe (1973) and Federico Fellini's Roma (1972).[4]
