It reminds me of Carbone’s spicy vodka sauce - a little lighter than my vodka sauce and so flavorful with the onions 🔥 Recipe can be found below - enjoy!! Ingredients 16 oz of pasta - I prefer bow ties or rigatoni! 2 to 3 onions, sliced 1 stick of butter 6-7 cloves of garlic, minced 1 28 ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes 1 cup of heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon of Calabrian chili oil Parmesan cheese, to taste Pasta water 1 tsp red pepper flakes Salt & pepper to taste Olive oil Melt 5 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the onions and 1/2 cup of water and let the onions cook down on low for about 45 minutes to an hour. When your onions are done, add the garlic to the onion mixture. Add the can of tomatoes and simmer over low. Mash the tomatoes and add salt. Allow the tomatoes to simmer for 15 minutes. Once the onions are finished, add to tomato mixture and simmer on low. While your water boils, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, Calabrian chilis and 3 tablespoons of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and let simmer on low while pasta cooks. Add the second 1/2 cup of heavy cream and stir as pasta is finishing up. When your pasta is al dente, add directly to the pan with a splash of pasta water and allow it to finish cooking in the sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. Save some pasta water on the side to add to the pan if the sauce is too thick and season with salt. After cooking in the sauce for approximately 5 minutes, top with parmesan cheese and serve. I hope you enjoy as much as I do! #vodkasauce #pastapasta #pastarecipe #eatathome #easyrecipesathome #christmasfood #christmasrecipe ## Stats - **Views:** 2,360 - **Likes:** 236 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 7 ## Tags christmasrecipe, pastarecipe, easyrecipesathome, christmasfood, vodkasauce, pastapasta, eatathome --- Copyright (c) Gondola
