Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/10 oz butter
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ glass pasta water
- 0.63 cup cream
- to taste parmesan
- to taste mozzarella
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste paprika
- to taste oregano
- to taste chili flakes
- to taste herbs de la Provence
Instructions
- 1Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook your preferred pasta (e.g., spaghetti or penne) until al dente, then reserve about half a glass of the hot pasta water before draining.
- 2While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
- 3Add the small, diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes until it begins to soften.
- 4Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to let it brown.
- 5Mix in the tomato paste, cooking it for about 1 minute while stirring constantly to bloom its flavor and remove any raw taste.
- 6Pour in the reserved pasta water and the cream, stirring to combine; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 1–2 minutes.
- 7Season the sauce with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, chili flakes, and herbs de la Provence, tasting and adjusting as needed.
- 8Add the grated parmesan and torn mozzarella, stirring until the cheeses melt into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- 9Toss the cooked pasta directly into the skillet, coating it evenly with the sauce; let it sit for 30 seconds to allow the pasta to absorb some of the flavors.
- 10Serve the pasta immediately, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of extra parmesan or fresh herbs.
