Spicy Vodka Pasta 🌶️ Ingredients 8 oz pasta of your choice (I used pipe rigate) 1/2 yellow onion finely diced 4 cloves garlic minced 2 celery stalks finely diced 1 Tbsp crushed Calabrian chilies 3 Tbsp Tomato paste 1/2 C vodka 14 oz whole peeled tomatoes 1 basil sprig 1/2 C heavy cream 1/3 C Parmesan 1 Tbsp butter 1 ladle pasta water Salt and pepper to taste (You can add a pinch of sugar to the sauce if needed) In a large skillet with olive oil cook down onions, garlic, and celery until soft and season with salt and pepper (5-7 minutes). Then add Calabrian chilies and tomato paste, cook until paste turns a dull red. Then add vodka and reduce by half. Add in whole peeled tomatoes and a sprig of basil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow sauce to thicken. If you want a creamy sauce blend the sauce in a blender or immersion blender. Add back to the pan once smooth. Add in cream and simmer for 2 minutes, turn heat on lowest setting add in pasta, Parmesan and pasta water. Toss and serve ☺️ Enjoy 💕 #vodkasauce #spicyvodkapasta #dinnerideas #easyrecipes #datenightdinners #recipes #pastarecipes #yum #food
