Pink Sauce Pasta (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 300g of your favorite pasta type (like penne)

→ Sauce Base

02 - 1 small red onion, finely chopped

03 - 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Sauce

06 - ½ cup of milk

07 - ½ cup heavy cream

08 - ⅓-½ cup mozzarella, shredded

09 - 1½ cups tomato puree (or passata/sauce)

→ Seasonings

10 - 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled

11 - A small pinch of sugar

12 - 1 teaspoon dried basil

13 - Salt and black pepper, as needed

14 - Red chili flakes, as spicy as you want

# Instructions:

01 - Boil your pasta until it's just cooked (check the box for directions). Save a bit of the pasta water before draining.

02 - In a big frying pan, warm the oil and butter. Let the onion soften as it cooks for 4-5 minutes, then toss in the garlic for another minute.

03 - Pour in your tomato puree, basil, crumbled stock cube, sugar, chili flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Let it bubble a little. Then stir in your cream, milk, and cheese.

04 - Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce and mix it all together. Gently heat it up and stir in some pasta water if your sauce feels too thick. Serve while hot.

# Notes:

01 - You can throw in some shrimp or chicken, if you’d like

02 - Best enjoyed fresh after making

03 - Thin the sauce with pasta water if it gets too thick
