Penne Arrabiata Sauce

The original recipe for this includes chicken, but I prefer it just as a pasta sauce.  You might as well make the sauce in a big batch and freeze it for later.  The original calls for diced tomatoes, but I accidentally picked up crushed tomatoes the first time around (no idea what the size was of the can) and I think I preferred the crushed.  Serve with cooked penne pasta.
