PINKY PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of water. Generously salt the water and boil the pasta for 2 minutes shy of the package instructions. Taste for doneness and drain -- the pasta should be al dente (soft but still firm, never mushy).
• Heat the oil and the garlic in a small, deep skillet over medium. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, then add the tomato paste. Continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes, season with pepper, and stir in the butter. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat. Serve warm.

PINK SAUCE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions, then drain, reserving some of the pasta water.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Add the tomato passata, dried basil, crumbled chicken bouillon cube, sugar, red chili flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for a few minutes, then add the cream, milk and the shredded mozzarella.
• Add the cooked pasta, toss to combine and warm through for a few minutes. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water. Enjoy immediately!
