Spicy Rigatoni
Ingredients
Preparation
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the oil and butter to the pan. Once melted, add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, then add your alcohol of choice and the Calabrian chiles. Stir to combine and let the mixture cook down for 5 minutes while preparing the pasta.
Add rigatoni with a pinch of salt to boiling water. Boil 4–5 mins. Drain the pasta directly into the pan with the sauce, reserving some pasta cooking water. Toss the pasta to coat, adding pasta water as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency (about ½ to 1 cup). Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve optionally topping with Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper for extra spice.
