Ingredients
Scale
- 160g casarecce pasta
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 brown onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, finely diced
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/4 cup (60mL) vodka
- 3/4 cup tomato pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup cream
- Freshly grated parmigiano reggiano, to serve
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Reserve 1/3 cup starchy pasta water when draining.
- For the sauce, heat olive oil in fry pan over a high heat. Add onions, garlic and chilli flakes and saute until onions become translucent.
- Add vodka, cook for 30 seconds before tilting pan and setting liquid alight. This will cook off the alcohol!
- Add tomato sauce and cream and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add pasta directly to sauce, followed by reserved pasta water. Starchy water will assist the sauce in sticking to your pasta. Toss to combine and allow to cook for a further two minutes.
- Serve hot, topped with parmigiano reggiano.
