Creamy Caramelized Shallots & Balsamic Pasta

1. Start by getting your salted water boiling for the pasta. Be sure to save some pasta water for the sauce!
2. Thinly slice the shallot and mince the garlic.
3. In a pan on medium low heat, add 1 tbsp of salted butter and a large drizzle of olive oil. Add the shallots and sauté on medium low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the shallots don’t burn. After 10 minutes, add the garlic and cook for another minute or two. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze and stir.
4. To the caramelized shallots, add heavy cream, pecorino romano cheese, about 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water, juice from 1/4 of a lemon, and black pepper, to taste.
5. Add in the cooked pasta and then add in some Soffritto seasoning to taste (or red pepper flakes if you don’t have Soffritto), and some more black pepper.
6. Top with more grated cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
