And I\u2019ll be honest, the Five Cheese Ziti and Fettuccine Alfredo still hold up. However, becoming an adult is realizing that you don\u2019t actually have to go to an Italian restaurant to have delicious pasta.\u00a0In fact, you don\u2019t even have to make <em>anything <\/em>from scratch to have a scrumptious pasta dish. That&#8217;s what we have jarred pasta sauce for.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Personally, I always have at least one jar of pasta sauce and a box of noodles in my pantry at all times for emergency meals or whenever that pasta craving strikes\u2014which happens pretty often. We know that Rao\u2019s Homemade&#8217;s jarred pasta sauce is good enough to pass off as, well, homemade, which is why it\u2019s my go-to for easy dinners.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Even though I love the traditional Marinara and Roasted Garlic sauces, the one I buy most frequently is Rao&#8217;s Homemade Arrabbiata sauce. It\u2019s similar to the classic marinara but with a bit of a kick, thanks to crushed red pepper.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Typically, I\u2019ll add the jarred arrabbiata to any pasta recipe in place of whatever red sauce it calls for. However, Rao&#8217;s Homemade shared a three-ingredient recipe using the spicy sauce I plan to add to my weekly rotation.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-to-make-raos-homemade-spicy-rigatoni-with-arrabbiata-and-burrata\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How To Make Rao&#8217;s Homemade Spicy Rigatoni with Arrabbiata and Burrata <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The recipe is a three-ingredient arrabbiata pasta with burrata. It features rigatoni pasta, spicy marinara sauce, and a big ball of burrata and comes together in 10 minutes but tastes like something you\u2019d order at a fancy Italian restaurant.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The burrata splits into a creamy mixture of fresh mozzarella, cheese curds, and cream to give the pasta sauce a luscious texture and cut the arrabbiata&#8217;s heat just a bit. However, the recipe has the option to include extra crushed red pepper flakes if you want more of a zip.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raos.com\/blogs\/recipes\/spicy-rigatoni-with-rao-s-homemade-arrabbiata-and-burrata\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Rao\u2019s Homemade&#8217;s recipe<\/a> is very simple. &#8220;All you need is Rao&#8217;s Homemade Rigatoni, Rao&#8217;s Homemade Arrabbiata Sauce, burrata, and some red pepper flakes, if you want an extra kick,&#8221; it reads.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The Spicy Rigatoni with Arrabbiata and Burrata is the perfect easy weeknight meal to make when you don\u2019t know what to cook. However, it also makes for a great dish to serve at dinner parties and holiday gatherings because the sauce tastes high-quality and the burrata adds a touch of fanciness without spending hours in the kitchen\u2014or breaking the bank. No one even needs to know the sauce came from a jar.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I grew up frequenting Olive Garden for its breadsticks, salad, and, most of all, pasta dishes.
