I'm just a Mexican guy who cooks a lot of Mexican food, and thus always stocked with crema) - Half a box of forkable pasta - Parmesan and basil or parsley to garnish - salt and pepper to taste ## Directions 1. Cook shallot and garlic in oil and butter over medium heat for 2 minutes. 2. Add mezcal, then gochujang before cooking for 2 more minutes. 3. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. 4. Cook a half pound of pasta (or double this recipe and make a whole box). Add cream to the simmered sauce and season with salt and pepper. (I can't tell you how much, because I don't know how salty your canned tomatoes are!)
