Nutritional yeast adds umami without dairy.

Boil a pot of water over high heat and season it with salt.

Add 375 g of rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until al dente.

In a pan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter.

Chop a medium shallot and add it to the melted butter, cooking for 1 to 3 minutes until it softens.

Add 3 cloves of garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds to remove the raw flavor.

Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan, stirring and seasoning with salt.

Add 1 can of tomato paste to the pan and stir to combine, allowing it to cook down for a few minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of chili oil to the sauce for heat and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
