Pasta and Sauce Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the mafaldine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add Vodka
Carefully pour the vodka into the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the alcohol evaporate slightly.
Incorporate Tomatoes
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finish with Cream
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the sauce. Stir until well combined and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained mafaldine pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Stir in the chopped fresh basil and half of the Parmesan cheese.
Serve
Plate the pasta and top each serving with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy your Mafaldine alla Vodka!
