Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Fry until golden brown.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of tomato paste, 1/4 teaspoon of mixed herbs, 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and cook for about 2 minutes.

Pour in 270 ml of double cream and 1/2 cup of pasta water. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
