Tips

  • The goal is to make the shallots look like this so they essentially melt in the sauce.
  • To achieve this, you might shed a couple of tears.
  • Make sure you're managing your heat; do not burn this. Then it becomes your pasta recipe and not mine.
  • Very importantly, you gotta cook this down to remove that raw tomato paste flavor.
  • This is when you're going to make it as spicy as you like.
  • Just slowly start mixing and just watch it transform into that beautiful color.
  • It's time to parmesan it until it feels right.
  • I'm just going to get it lost in that beautiful sauce.
  • Always, now Bismillah.
  • That is just packing flavor.
  • Cook your pasta, you're going to turn your water into the ocean.
  • I'm going to bundle up the linguini and just give it a nice twist, and then when I drop it in, it will spread out and prevent sticking.
  • For this recipe, you can use red onion, but I prefer using shallots.
  • You want to grab your sharpest knife and get the finest dice.
  • Now your heartburn's going to get the same type of love, but you should already know how to do that.
  • Now, in a hot pan, we're going to start off with some good olive oil.
  • And then on a medium heat, we're going to cook down our shallots.
  • Then just a few minutes later, you're going to slide in your minced heartburn.
  • Now once the aroma starts talking to your nose, get generous with tomato paste.
  • Now, at this time, you're going to add in your chili flakes.
  • And once you get a nice red deep color, it's time for your heavy cream.
  • Then I added my al dente linguini, a splash of pasta water.
  • And as always, now Bismillah."
