• 1 tsp. Dashi powder
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

• Once hot, add shallots and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly, until shallots are turning soft and golden.
• Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly to prevent garlic from burning, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant.
• Add white wine to the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half.
• Add dashi powder, worcestershire sauce, whipping cream, and half of both the parmesan cheese and pasta water.
