Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vodka (optional)

  7. Serve and Garnish: Plate the pasta and garnish with more Parmesan and fresh basil. Enjoy immediately!
