For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle kick.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
Freshly squeezed orange and pineapple juice will provide the best flavor. Avoid using concentrate if possible.
Feel free to experiment with other tropical fruits! Mango or papaya juice could be interesting additions.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
