"Inspired by a recipe on Eater from Joy Cho, just stripped back to make it even easier. This is one of my favorite pasta sauces, comes together so quickly, is super versatile, and has just the right amount of heat. Add more flavor by throwing in some shallots or onions with the garlic, or serve with a fried egg, scallions, or flakes of nori on top. It’s simpler, and dare I say better, than the creamy pasta alla vodka of Gigi Hadid “fame.” To freshen it up, you could also add some sliced roasted red peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, or even sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce before adding the pasta."
