Shallot Pasta
Following in the footsteps of Allison Roman's viral shallot pasta, this dish is built upon a super flavorful base of caramelized onion and tomato paste. I added capers and basil for a new twist.
What you will need
1/4 cup Olive Oil
5 cloves Garlic
6 Shallots
1/4 tsp Salt
pinch Black Pepper
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
4.5 oz Tomato Paste
2 Tbsp Capers
1 lb Bowtie Pasta

Gather and portion all ingredients.

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Peel and cut shallots in half. Thinly slice.

Add the olive oil to a heavy bottomed pot. Toss in the sliced shallots, salt, and pepper.
6

Stirring occasionally, cook shallots over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and jammy.
7

While you caramelize the shallots, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
8

Once the shallots are caramelized, add in the red pepper flakes (less if you prefer less spicy), tomato paste, and the capers.

Cook the mixture for a few more minute and stir until combined.
