“Arrabbiata” means “angry” in Italian, referring to the chili heat in the sauce. Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce is a jarred, processed tomato sauce inspired by the spicy Roman pasta sauce traditionally served with penne.
Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce has a noticeable chili kick, but it is generally a manageable heat rather than an extremely hot sauce. The perceived spice varies by person; combine it with plain tomato sauce or a creamy ingredient to mellow it.
Penne is the classic match for Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce, especially ridged penne that holds the sauce well. Rigatoni and other short pasta shapes also work, while long pasta such as spaghetti is fine if that is what you have.
Yes, Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce works as a spicy pizza base. Spread a thin layer over the dough so the pizza does not become soggy, then add toppings that suit its chili flavor, such as mozzarella, olives, or roasted vegetables.
Add sautéed onion or garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, or grated Parmesan to make Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce taste richer. Stir in additions while warming the sauce, and taste before adding salt because the finished sauce may already be seasoned.
Yes, Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce can replace plain tomato sauce when you want a spicy tomato flavor. Reduce or omit other chili in the recipe, and use a milder tomato sauce instead if the dish needs to stay mild.
Keep opened Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce refrigerated with the lid tightly closed and use it within a few days. Take it from the jar with a clean utensil, and follow the storage directions printed on your particular jar.
Yes, leftover Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce can be frozen in a freezer-safe airtight container. Leave room for expansion, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir it well after reheating because the texture may separate slightly.
Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce is ready-made, so it does not need lengthy cooking, but warming it before serving helps blend it with the pasta. Heat it gently in a pan and avoid prolonged boiling, which can make it reduce too much.
Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce pairs well with roasted peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, chicken, or meatballs. Cook the add-ins fully before combining them with the sauce, then warm everything together so the chili-tomato flavor coats the ingredients.

Barilla Arrabbiata Sauce is a ready-made version of the Italian pasta sauce, made with a tomato base and chilli for its characteristic heat. It gives pasta a quick, punchy sauce without needing to prepare one from scratch.
Its texture is thick enough to cling to pasta, with tangy tomato flavour and a lingering chilli kick. In Italy it is commonly served with pasta; elsewhere, it also works stirred through a simple weeknight bowl or spooned over vegetables. Nutritionally, it is a relatively light sauce, with 75 calories per 100 g and modest amounts of protein and fat. For a milder, more substantial meal, combine it with plain tomato sauce and add vegetables or beans.
