Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat and sauté the chopped shallot until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. A
Add the tomato passata, roasted garlic and salt to the pot. Stir and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
Once the water comes to a boil, add plenty of salt. Cook the pasta until it's al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmigiano.
When the pasta has finished cooking, strain and add to a large sauté pan along with the sauce and 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss on high heat until combined. Add more pasta water as needed, 1/4 cup at a time.
