Tips

  • If you start off with oil and then finish off with some butter, it helps with the caramelisation process.
  • If you like it spicy, you can add some chili flakes, but adding a little bit of sweet chili adds nice sweetness and balances out the flavor.
  • If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
  • Remember to salt the water while cooking the pasta.
