How to Make It:

2. Drain the pasta, saving 1/4 cup of that starchy pasta water for later.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan, then saute the garlic and onions until they smell amazing.
4. Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook on low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it loses that raw edge.
5. Add the chilli flakes, dried basil, black pepper, salt, chilli powder, and sugar. Mix well.
6. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and stir until the sauce turns creamy and smooth.
7. Drop in the butter for extra richness, then add the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
8. Toss in the cooked pasta and coat it completely in the sauce.
9. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until it melts into the pasta.
