I've conjured up a dish that's going to dance on your palate – combining the smoky notes of paprika, the fiery kick of chilli oil, and the rich depth of San Marzano tomatoes. Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of flavours!

Ingredients
- Pasta of your choice - 200g (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au)
- Premium chilli oil - 3 tbsp (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au)
- 1 Tin of San Marzano tomatoes (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au), finely chopped
- Paprika - 1.5 tsp (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au)
- Extra virgin olive oil - 2 tbsp (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au)
- Fresh basil leaves - a handful, torn
- Salt - to taste (Find the best at PetitsTrésors.com.au)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Garlic cloves - 2, minced
Directions
Boil your pasta until it's al dente in salted water. Once cooked, drain the water and set aside.
In a wide pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add minced garlic. Sauté until it’s golden brown.
Add in the finely chopped San Marzano tomatoes. Cook them down until they form a chunky sauce.
Sprinkle in the paprika and mix well, allowing the smoky flavour to infuse.
Pour in the premium chilli oil from PetitsTrésors for that spicy kick we all adore. Mix it well with the tomato sauce.
Toss in the cooked pasta, ensuring each strand gets coated with our fiery and tangy sauce.
Finish off with torn basil leaves and optionally, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for an added layer of richness.
Serve hot and enjoy!
