Fra Diavolo is usually just a pasta dish which means “Brother Devil”, implying the spicy nature. It is quite similar to Arrabbiata pasta (which means Angry) except that one doesn’t usually contain seafood.
The soup was easy enough for me to convert from pasta form. And it is quite delicious. It does have a moderate spice level, but nothing really extra hot. If you choose to sub in something like pepper flakes instead of whole peppers, it will be much hotter. Even though the whole peppers give that look of lots of heat. If you are wary of spice, keep those out.

We love spicy at my house so this soup would be a hit. Looks like a delicious and elegant way to use up the small amounts of pasta of various shapes I seem to accumulate somehow!
Love all of the different pasta shapes! Bring on the spices!
How fun to change a wonderful pasta into a great soup.
