Dear Sirs/Madams,
in Italian, "pasta all'arrabbiata" means pasta in the angry fashion - with reference to the generous use of chilli in the sauce. The so-called arrabbiata sauce I bought from you did not even frown convincingly.

Essentially the same as "Those red pepper flakes are the shit." in colloquial usage -- i.e. those red pepper flakes are the best, the awesomest.
