Pasta alla Vodka
Course:
Dinner
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1⁄4 teaspoons Chilli Flakes (heaped)
- 100 grams Tomato Puree
- 5 tablespoons Vodka
- 100 millilitres Double Cream
- 250 grams Fresh Pasta
- 30 grams Parmesan Cheese
Steps
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and gently fry over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent.
- Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir through the tomato purée, cook for 5 mins.
- Stir through the vodka and cook for 3 mins.
- Quickly stir through the cream to combine, then remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions. Drain and reserve 150ml cooking water.
- Add roughly 50ml of the water to the tomato sauce, then tip in the pasta and cheese, tossing everything together over a low heat until well coated and glossy (loosen with a splash more of the cooking water if it’s a little dry).
- Season to taste, then serve with a sprinkling of the extra parmesan, a good grinding of black pepper.
