Prep

Preparation for your meal:

  • Mince the garlic and dice the onions
  • In a large, deep skillet, add olive oil and heat the pan to medium/medium-high heat.
  • Boil pasta according to box directions or until al dente. Set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water for later use.
Cook

Lets start cooking!

  • Once the pan is hot and sizzling, add diced onion and minced garlic. Saute about 5-6 minutes. If you like your onions more cooked, saute until golden brown.
  • Add tomato paste, butter, vodka, and whole whipping cream to the skillet. Mix all ingredients together, the sauce will take on a slightly orange/pink hue and will be slightly thick.
  • Heat pasta sauce for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, ensuring it does not burn. Lower the heat if it starts to burn or if the pan gets too hot.
  • Add in the shredded parmesan cheese, and mix until melted and completely combined."
  • Add reserved pasta water to the skillet to thin out the sauce. Start with 1/2 cup of water, stirring constantly. Remember, the sauce will need to burn off some liquid, so it will be a little thin to start.
  • Heat pasta sauce on low-medium for about 5-6 more minutes, stirring frequently, while some of the excess liquid burns off. Lower flame if the sauce starts to burn.
  • Once the sauce is ready, pour the noodles into the prepared sauce.
  • Plate pasta, add additional parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and basil if you want, and serve
