Building the Creamy Spicy Sauce

Begin by sautéing garlic, shallots, and a touch of chili in butter to build deep flavor. Stir in tomato paste for a hint of sweetness and beautiful color, then deglaze with white wine for depth. Heavy cream marries everything together, with a dash of smoked paprika and crushed red pepper for complexity and spice. Freshly grated Parmesan is stirred in at the end for extra richness.

For a sophisticated finish, top with chopped chives, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately for peak creaminess and flavor.
