Tips

  • Drop the heat when adding Parmesan so it doesn't turn grainy.
  • Cook onions and shallots low and slow with chili oil.
  • Use slightly undercooked pasta for the final cooking in the sauce to absorb flavors.
  • Add pasta water to create a beautiful sauce consistency.
  • Garnish with cilantro to help negate the calories (humorous tip).
