when dinner in >>> dinner out 

if you haven’t tried my vodkaless vodka sauce, stop what you’re doing and make it asap!! I promise you won’t regret it. A dupe to Carbone’s spicy vodka sauce, it’s the perfect date night in dinner!! Recipe can be found below 🫶🏼 Enjoy!! 

Ingredients

1 box of pasta
2 medium onions, sliced
1 stick of butter
6-7 cloves of garlic, minced
1 28 ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes (I always use San Marzano!)
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!
