Penne Arrabbiata My Way

Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small shallot, finely diced
- 1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
- ½ cup diced Italian Pancetta
- 2-3 Tbsp hot chilli paste (I use Cote d’azur 2.0)
- 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup pasta water
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 cups cooked penne pasta
Method:
2. Add the chilli paste, tomatoes, sauce and foamy pasta water, stir. Lid the sauce and turn the heat to simmer. Once the cherry tomatoes have softened, and the sauce is cohesive, add the parsley and basil. Taste for seasoning.
3. Ladle the cooked pasta into the sauce, stir to coat and garnish with a generous amount of Reggiano cheese.
