    The habanero, also known as the Mexican heart of fire, is the star of Chef Borghese's recipe for #AleKitchenSound: "Penne Muy Calientes," a truly explosive mix for the palate. For the sauce, he chooses three types of tomatoes with different consistencies and flavors: the delicate salad tomato, the floury copper tomato, and the "muy dolce" Piccadilly tomato. After adding the incredibly hot chili pepper, he adds a small anchovy that perfectly balances the flavors, and a handful of arugula for the finishing touch.
