Save and follow @kalejunkie for more! SPICY PASTA ALLA VODKA for Episode 8 of my series, Dinner in 20, where I show you how to make easy, restaurant quality dinners that take the guesswork out of the million dollar question…WHAT’S SHOULD I MAKE FOR DINNER TONIGHT?! This one is a WINNER — think Carbone Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, but BETTER. That’s right! ⁣
⁣
Makes 4 servings⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣
16 oz pasta of choice (I am using fun @barillaus heart shaped pasta but if you want to make yours like Carbone, use rigatoni)⁣
2 tb olive oil⁣
1 yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)⁣
2 large shallots, finely diced (about 1/4 cup) ⁣
3 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
3/4 tsp Calabrian chili paste⁣
1/4 cup tomato paste⁣
1/4 cup vodka (I am using @hangar1distillery, don’t worry this burns off when cooking)⁣
1 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk (comes in a can)⁣
1 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, finely grated (+ more for topping)⁣
1 tb salted butter⁣
1/2 cup reserved pasta water⁣
⁣
INSTRUCTIONS: ⁣
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water. Next, add the olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion, shallots and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the Calabrian chili paste, and tomato sauce, stirring one minute more, then add the vodka and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, cheese and butter, until fully incorporated and then add the reserved pasta water. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Use a handheld immersion blender or regular blender and blend the sauce until smooth. Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta, toss to coat well and plate. Add more parmesan cheese on top and enjoy right away. ⁣
