Analyzing cooking steps...
Straining the sauce is the key step to achieving the super smooth, 'creamy' texture without any cream. Don't skip it.
Using starchy pasta water is essential to help the sauce emulsify and adhere beautifully to the pasta.
The small amount of sugar helps balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes, enhancing their flavor.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
