Serves 2 to 4

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225g) campanelle or other ruffle-shaped short pasta
  • kosher salt or fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup minced shallots (2 to 4 shallots)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 Tbsp)
  • juice and zest of a half lemon (about 1 1/2 tsp zest and 1 Tbsp juice)
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • ½ cup shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese [omit or substitute vegan cheese to make vegan]

Tips

  • Prepare the shallots and garlic while the pasta is boiling. Sautéing the shallots before adding the garlic helps you avoid burning the garlic.
  • Adding some of the reserved pasta water to the sauté pan with the pasta is the little secret that makes the shallot sauce so luscious.
