In my house, everyone is obsessed with this dish. I make it regularly now. I was inspired by my favoritel italian restaurant who serves the best pastas (I'm biased). This sauce is pretty close to their ravioli sauce that I LOVE. I typically make herb chicken or shrimp to go with this. But the pasta alone is wonderful!

Ingredients

15 minutes
4 to 6 servings
  1. 1 (16 oz)box of noodles (any kind, I use rigatoni or penne)
  2. 1/3medium sized yellow onion (minced)
  3. 3-4 clovesgarlic (minced)
  4. 1 cupwhipping cream
  5. 1 1/2 tbsptomato paste
  6. 1 tsppaprika
  7. Red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  8. 1 tbspsalted butter
  9. 1/3 cupshredded parmesan
  10. 1 cuppasta water (for creamy consistency)
  11. Salt and pepper for taste

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    In a large pot, fill up about half way with water (salted) to a boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente

  2. 2

    While pasta cooks, mince the onion and garlic. Once your finished, grab your large pan and turn the heat on to medium. Add a drizzle of olive or grapeseed oil.

  3. 3

    When pasta is finished, reserve your pasta water in a measuring cup and set aside. Drain your pasta.

  4. 4

    Turn pan on to medium high heat and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent. (Garlic cooks fast! Add it in 1 min before the next step)

  5. 5

    Add your tomato paste to the pan and saute with onions and garlic for about 1 minute until they are well mixed together. (Be careful not to burn the paste)

  6. 6

    Turn down heat to medium low and stir in the whipping cream. Add the paprika and how ever much red pepper you would like (I like spicy so I am typically generous)

  7. 7

    Add your butter to the sauce and mix until melted and evenly incorporated. Add and mix in your parmesan.

  8. 8

    Finally, add your cooked pasta and turn off the heat. It may look a little sticky, but thats ok! (That's what your pasta water is for!) Slowly pour in your pasta water as you stir to the consistency of your liking. (Your pasta water to loosen the sauce) ENJOY!
