Ingredients

  • 8 Ounces (226 ⅘ Gram) Pasta (orecchiette , rigatoni, penne, bow ties, large macaroni, gnocchi or even a ravioli or tortellini.)
  • ½ Cup (118 2/7 ml) Olive Oil
  • 1 small (1 small) onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves (4 cloves) Garlic (minced)
  • 1 Teaspoon (1 Teaspoon) Red Pepper flakes
  • 6 Ounces (170 Gram) Tomato Paste
  • ¼ Cup (59 ⅐ ml) Vodka
  • ½ Cup (50 Gram) Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • 1 ½ Cup (354 ⅞ ml) Heavy Cream (heavy is best, light will work)
  • 2 Tablespoon (2 Tablespoon) Butter
  • Basil leaves (garnish)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Boil pasta according to directions on package, being sure the water is heavily salted. Reserve ½-1 cup of the pasta water for later use in the sauce.
  • In a wide bottom pan heat extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté until they soften and start to take on color.
  • Add chopped garlic and sauté for a minute.
  • Stir in red pepper flake and tomato paste, cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add in vodka, stirring and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in Vokda and cream. Whisk until smooth. It will take a few minutes but the oil and cream will start to emulsify with whisking.
  • Add cheese and reserved pasta water, whisking for a minute until the color becomes consistant and rosy in color.
  • Drain the cooked pasta and add to the vodka sauce.
  • Stir in pasta and butter. Garnish with fresh chopped basil.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt pepper and add additional red pepper flake for more heat.

Notes

Protein - Add some cooked chicken, sous vide chicken breast, sautéed shrimp, seared scallops or sheet pan salmon would be delicious in this spicy vodka sauce pasta.
Cheese - switch out the parmesan for asiago, Romano or provolone for a little flavor variation.
Vegetables -when cooking the onions and garlic, add in some veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, peas or asparagus to get in more vegetables.
