    I have been eyeing this recipe for years and finally had a chance to make it for lunch earlier this week, using a jar of XO sauce that was sitting in my pantry. You begin by building an easy, delicious burst cherry tomato sauce (the recipe calls for shallots + garlic, I used some onion, some green onion, and garlic), and then stir in a generous amount of XO sauce, along with the pasta. Right as I was about to add the XO sauce, I hesitated and wondered if I should just stir it in separately, since I'd never had it before and didn't know if I liked it. But, I didn't - and sure enough, I'm not much of a fan. Oh well, I do think that the base burst cherry tomato sauce is delicious and I'd make it again in a heartbeat. But I won't be adding the XO sauce again - for me, it made the fresh sauce taste musty. (Left out the fresh herbs, but added scallion greens.)
