## Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small minced shallot
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 oz mezcal
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 15oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crema or heavy cream
- (if you have to buy one or the other, pick heavy cream. 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!)
