Easy Creamy Pasta

1. 12 ounce dry pasta
2. One shallot sliced or red onion
3. 5 garlic cloves minced
4. 1/4 cup olive oil
5. 3 tablespoons tomato paste
6. 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper (broth is salty so be mindful when adding salt)
7. 1 teaspoon oregano and chili flakes (more for garnish)
8. 1 cup broth
9. 1 cup heavy whipping cream
10. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
11. Garnish with Italian parsley and chili flakes

1. Boil salt water and cook pasta 1-2 minutes shy (less) than the cook time as it will cook longer in the sauce.
2. Slice shallot and mince garlic.
3. Add olive oil to a pan on low to medium heat . Add shallots and garlic and cook 15-30 seconds. Don’t let it burn. Mix.
4. Turn down the heat and Season with salt, black pepper, oregano and chili flakes.
5. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring on low heat.
6. Slowly mix in the broth. As it’s slowly cooking / boiling add the heavy whipping cream and mix. The sauce will change color from white to deep rich orange as it cooks and thickens. About 3-4 minutes.
7. Add the pasta and the mozzarella cheese. Slowly mix together and let it all come together. Add broth or pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and chili flakes
