Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
2. Add 2 cups of penne and boil for 8 to 10 minutes, or as the package says, stirring now and then.
3. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta, rinse it under cold water and set aside.
4. In a large pot over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter and let the butter melt.
5. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
6. Add 1 small finely chopped onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
7. Add 1/2 cup of tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until blended with the onion.
8. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and mix well with the tomato paste.
9. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, stirring constantly so it does not burn.
10. Add a little of the reserved pasta water, stir and let the sauce simmer.
11. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated parmesan over the sauce and stir until fully melted. If the sauce is too thick, add more reserved pasta water as needed.
12. Add the cooked pasta and toss gently until well coated.
13. Top with chili flakes and chopped coriander, and serve with extra grated parmesan.
