6. Let it bloom for a minute, then add chili crisp and sauté for another minute.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes.

## Tips

- If the onions start sticking, hit 'em with a splash of water.
- Save some pasta water to loosen things up if the sauce is too thick.
- Serve hot with an extra spoon of chili crisp on top for a spicy kick and maybe a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy.
