Spicy Seafood Marinara

Coming after the sambal chili in my spicy fried rice is the whole dried red chili.



Do you like spicy food? Which is the spiciest you have ventured into ?

If you can't take the spice, I have some pasta variations for you to think about trying.

Other pasta variations
:
Soba in almond butter and scallions dressing
Linguine in minced pork and black vinegar
Fusili with steamed shrimps and celery


For myself, it's to elevate the spice and heat in classic seafood marinara. Look what I added to make it Fiery Seafood Marinara Penne.
