YOU WON'T BE SINGLE FOR LONG VODKA CREAM PASTA



You Won't Be Single For Long Vodka Cream Pasta image

This recipe will make enough for two couples. If you plan a romantic evening where more than two's a crowd, reserve half the sauce to freeze for another supper before the addition of basil, and only cook 1/2 to 2/3 pound of penne.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, once around the pan in a slow stream
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 cup vodka
1 cup chicken stock
1 can crushed tomatoes (32 ounces)
Coarse salt and pepper
16 ounces pasta, such as penne rigate
1/2 cup heavy cream
20 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn
Crusty bread, for passing

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic, and shallots. Gently saute shallots for 3 to 5 minutes to develop their sweetness. Add vodka to the pan, 3 turns around the pan in a steady stream will equal about 1 cup. Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While sauce simmers, cook pasta in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente (with a bite to it). While pasta cooks, prepare your salad or other side dishes.
  • Stir cream into sauce. When sauce returns to a bubble, remove it from heat. Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with sauce and basil leaves. Pass pasta with crusty bread.

QUICK BETTER THAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE (MARINARA) (VODKA)



Quick Better Than Spaghetti Sauce (Marinara) (Vodka) image

Mild Italian Sausage and Jar Pesto make this quick recipe tops. This sauce has the flavor and texture that I really enjoy and can't find in any jar sauces. Plus it's quick and easy. An easy variation on this recipe is to add a cup or so of half and half or heavy cream at the end to make a wonderful vodka cream sauce.
