CARAMELISED SHALLOT & CHILLI PASTA
Shallots, like onions, are often a background note in recipes, but here they get the attention they deserve. Take your time over cooking them and that rich, complex, sweet flavour will be your reward 😍
To serve 4:
💚 Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Meanwhile, set a large frying pan over a medium heat; add 4 tbsp olive oil, 500g finely sliced Loose Shallots and 4 cloves of finely sliced garlic. Season and slowly cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are slightly caramelised (reduce the heat if needed). Add 25g anchovies and ½ tsp chilli; stir for 2 minutes until the anchovies have disintegrated. Meanwhile, cook 350g of No.1 Rigatoni Fresh Pasta in the boiling water according to pack instructions.
💚 When the pasta is ready, scoop out a mug of the cooking water, then drain. Tip the pasta into the shallot mixture. Stir together, adding ½ of the mug of cooking water and tossing together constantly. Stir in the 50g finely grated Pecorino Romano and ½ a 25g pack of finely chopped flat leaf parsley, adding more pasta water if needed to create a smooth, velvety sauce. Serve immediately.
