Arabbiata Sauce from Allrecipes
Verdict: Meh
Part of this fail might be the fact that (as DY puts it) I just don't know how to cook non-Asian foods because I don't exactly know what it's supposed to taste like. I know what tastes good, but I'm not sure what's missing when something doesn't taste right. I was really looking forward to trying this sauce, though, because during our trip to Mexico we had this fabulous penne with an arabbiata sauce that had a good spicy bite to it, but was still so tasty. This sauce, however, didn't have much depth to it and was boring, despite it's spiciness.
