It’s shitty here again in Pritzkanistan so I’m making a summer-esque pasta for my ladies. Easy as can be and knock your dick in the dirt delicious.

Fresh Buffalo mozz, orange and red cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic, red onion, regular garlic, and basil. But there is a trick at the end.

Sauté 1/2 a red onion, 1/2 head of roasted garlic, and 2 cloves of garlic in a lot of EVOO....between a 1/4 and a 1/2 cup.

Add your pasta to heavily salted water at a rolling boil. My local Italian joint had a special buy on this pasta....bronze die cut semolina pasta right off the boat. At $6 for a pound it’s expensive but it’s spectacular. I’m using bucatini but linguine, spaghetti, fettuccini, or whatever you like is fine.

Yep....pasta, black pepper, Pecorino Romano, and excellent EVOO. The key is adding a little pasta cooking water to it to help emulsify the cheese and oil, making the pasta super creamy without adding cream. Key is cooking the black pepper in the olive oil for a few minutes to get the pepper to bloom.

Is it true it’s only supposed to be 3 or 4 ingredients?

And what should be the first thing (besides by itself) that I should use the sauce on?
For the hot sauce.....awesome on eggs, pizza. wings, any kinda soup or rice dish, or anything you like hot sauce on. It’s an umami bomb hot sauce, not a blow your head off sauce. I can make those when asked but most like it just the way it is.

I feel like @Nape trolling my dick off with this "quick" bullshit. Looks tasty tho!
LOL. It would be a little quicker if I didn’t slice those fucking tomatoes in half. It makes a difference to keep them somewhat in shape, though. Over cooking them and making a tomato sauce changes the dish. My girls love it and it’s an easy clean up....that’s all that is important.

I'm so glad I don't have kids. I couldn't imagine cooking like that but your dishes are always pretty to look at!

Looks awesome. You ever do a Far Diavolo sauce? Be curious to see your recipe.
I have. Fra Diavolo shrimp are the old school OG. My wife and daughter aren’t huge fans so I haven’t done it in a long while. They will eat a toned down arrabbiata, tho.

Well, the entire family says this is a keeper. I added in sautéed chicken. Served with Pane Toscano.

Ridiculously delicious.

Fuck yea!! Excuse my poor French, my lady! It’s so easy to do but soooooo delicious. Nice touch with the chicken. Sometimes we will add shrimp just to change it up.

Glad you liked it! Mangia and Cin Cin.

As an addendum....you can use more wine or chicken stock if you prefer it to be a bit more “saucy”. We like the concentrated flavor without a lot of liquid. You do you.
I like it just as you told me to do. Creamy comfort food.

Plus it left me more PG to enjoy. I don't cook with wine I won't drink. 😉
