Garlic butter Mushroom Ragu Rigatoni

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the mushroom ragu, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the panko breadcrumbs and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
