Cook the Spaghetti<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve about \u00bc cup of pasta water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Saut\u00e9 the Aromatics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallot, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes until softened and fragrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Prepare the Cream Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the smoked paprika and stir for a few seconds.
