Spicy Vodka Rigatoni
Directions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni 1-2 mins less than the package says (it’ll finish in the sauce). Save 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
- 2In a pan over medium heat, sauté shallots in olive oil for 2 mins until soft. Add garlic + chili, stir 1 min until fragrant + honey.
- 3Add tomato paste, toast for 2 mins (deepens flavor).
- 4Pour in vodka, stir, and let it cook off 5 mins until alcohol smell is gone.
- 5Lower heat, stir in cream, ¼ cup pasta water, salt & pepper. Mix until smooth.
- 6Add pasta, toss to coat. Off heat, stir in butter + parmesan until glossy. If too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
- 7Serve with parmesan + basil.
