- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Italian-American Fusion
Ingredients
- 2 oz pasta (your choice, but penne or rigatoni rock!)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Cooking Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add shallot and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds (don’t burn it, darling!).
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to deepen in color.
- Lower heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Toss in the red pepper flakes. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix until well-coated.
- Toss in Parmesan cheese and butter, stirring until everything is melty and fabulous. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap heavy cream for coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Go Green: Add a handful of fresh spinach to the sauce for extra nutrition.
- Garnishing: Fresh basil, a sprinkle of extra Parmesan, or even a drizzle of truffle oil will elevate the dish.
- Pro Tip: Starchy pasta water is liquid gold! Reserve a tablespoon and add it to the sauce for extra silkiness.
