Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortiglioni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Make the Vodka Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Add Cream and Tomatoes

Stir in the heavy cream and charred tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked tortiglioni to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.

Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, topped with grated Grana Padano cheese.
