Delicious! I make something similar with heirloom tomatoes and garlic, but I love the addition of the shallots, pasta water and Parmesan! It’s going on my list of favorites!
Made this a couple of weeks ago and it is dreamy! Added 1 T of crushed calabrian chili peppers for some zip. Have shared the recipe with my out of town family. Delish!
