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