The kitchen spell

  1. Fry dry pasta in olive oil over medium-high heat until dark golden, then drain on paper towels.
  2. Cook red onions with olive oil, salt and sugar over medium-low heat, covered, for 20–30 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Add garlic and truffle paste, then return the toasted pasta.
  4. Add broth until the pasta is mostly submerged and bring to the boil.
  5. Bake the oven-safe skillet at 180°C fan for 10–15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender with crisp tips.
  6. While it bakes, sear the steak to your preferred doneness. Coat in chilli garlic oil and rest at least ten minutes.
  7. Slice the steak over the pasta and finish with garlic aioli and extra chilli garlic oil.
