This pasta dish is a quick easy way to impress your friends, significant other or yourself. It is also a great option for meal prep as it serves four people. My roommate and I make this at least once a month and usually invite a friend over to enjoy with us.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 white onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup lemon water
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chili flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound (a box) of penne pasta
1 cup pasta water
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook until it appears darker (in color) caramelized.
Add in the heavy cream. Add in the lemon water and cook through until evaporated.
Add in the red pepper flakes (add in more flakes if you like your pasta extra spicy).
Keep stirring until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Remove sauce from the heat.
Cook pasta separately, according to box. Save 1 cup of the pasta water before straining.
To the pan with the sauce add the cooked noodles, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese and pasta water until desired thickness.
Stir until all is melted and combined.
Top with fresh chopped basil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
