This six-ingredient (not including salt and pepper) pasta dish packs bigger, more satisfying flavor than you might expect, and can be on the table in 30 minutes. What’s more, the only knifework needed is chopping fresh basil. Tomato paste, Parmesan cheese and Milk Street’s Flavor Jolt deliver a triple hit of umami, while butter helps deliver their taste notes with depth and richness that lingers.
