Garlic Butter Spaghetti
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Slice your shallots nice and thin and measure out your seasonings.
- 2Bring your cream or coconut milk to room temp so it blends in smoothly later.
- 3Heat 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium.
- 4Add the shallots and sauté for 8–10 minutes until soft and starting to turn golden.
- 5While the shallots are doing their thing, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until al dente.
- 6Drain the pasta, but save some pasta water.
- 7Once the shallots are soft and sweet, stir in your minced garlic and all the seasonings.
- 8Let them bloom for about a minute, then add the chili crisp and give it another quick sauté.
- 9Pour in the cream (or coconut milk), stir in the soy sauce if using, and let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
- 10Add in the grated Parmesan and stir.
- 11Toss your pasta in the sauce until fully coated, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed to get that perfect silky consistency.
- 12Serve hot with an extra spoonful of chili crisp on top for a little heat and a sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy.
