Vodka pasta is that girl 💅 Here’s how I made it: - 1lb pasta of choice (reserve pasta water) - 2T olive oil - 2T butter - 1 shallot diced - 2-3 garlic cloves, grated - 1T red pepper (to taste) - 1-2t salt (to taste) - 1t black pepper (to taste) - 1t oregano (optional) - 1 tube tomato pasta (4.5oz) - 50ml vodka (a little less than 1/3 cup) - 1 cup heavy cream - 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated - Fresh basil and parmesan to garnish 1. Boil your pasta in heavily salted water, 3 minutes less than package instructions. You want the pasta to finish cooking in the sauce 2. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil and 1T of butter over medium heat. Add in your shallot, garlic, and seasonings. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. 3. Add in your tomato paste and stir. Cook for about 3-4 minutes (don’t skip this step, you need to cook off the tomato paste before adding the vodka) 4. Pour in your pasta and stir to combine. Simmer for a couple of minutes. 5. Reduce heat to low. Add in your cream and remaining butter, stir to combine. 6. Add in your cooked pasta along with about 1/2 cup pasta water. Stir for a few minutes to get that silky smooth sauce. 7. Adjust your seasonings, add in your parm, and a little extra butter. Top with more parm and fresh basil.
