For an even smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. A touch of roasted garlic elevates the depth of this sauce even further. Add 2-3 cloves of roasted garlic along with the other ingredients in step 1. For a vegan variation, substitute the heavy cream with cashew cream or full-fat coconut milk. The flavor profile will be slightly different, but still delicious.

Jan 21, 2025I found the sauce a little too thick, so I added a bit of pasta water to thin it out. Worked perfectly!
