Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced small
1 tablespoon rosemary, minced
6 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 ounces anelletti pasta
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish
1/4 cup chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Sauté Aromatics: In a Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and rosemary. Cook for about 2 minutes until the aromatics soften and become fragrant.
Incorporate Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste, coating the softened vegetables. Allow it to cook, melding the flavors together.
Build the Sauce: Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock and half-and-half to the pot. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle in paprika, chili powder, and cayenne. Bring this aromatic mixture to a boil.
Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, add the anelletti pasta to the pot. Stir frequently, ensuring the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom, and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Finishing Touches: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a creamy richness that elevates the dish.
Serve and Enjoy: Dish out the pasta into bowls, garnishing with additional Parmesan and chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
