The inspiration for this dish comes from a recipe from Giada de Laurentiis (original recipe can be found on the Food Network website), with a few changes. I am always looking for ways to add more mascarpone cheese to my diet, and it makes a fantastic, creamy pasta sauce. This is spicy from the Calabrian chile paste, which I’ll tell ya was NOT easy to find! I looked in every grocery store I came near and couldn’t even find it at Eataly (come on, Eataly…I’m disappointed in you). I ended up ordering it online from Italian Harvest; I would highly suggest seeking it out and ordering a spare jar to keep around when you want to whip up this easy dish. I imagine that it would be delicious in a variety of applications…let me know what you come up with!
