vodka pasta (easy dinner recipe) 🍅🍝

Sharing 5 of my all time favorite pasta recipes! These are all delicious, family tested weekly staples that are easy to make. This is a base recipe for vodka sauce, you can use it per serving, which is what I like to do, or use the whole sauce for 8 ounces of pasta.

Ep # 3: Vodka Pasta 🍅🍝

- 1 to 2 servings cooked pasta (any kind)

- Some pasta water

- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

- Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Vodka Sauce:

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 shallot, minced

- 4 garlic cloves, minced (can add less)

- 2/3 cup tomato paste

- 3 tablespoons vodka

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup grated freshly parmesan cheese

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

- Pinch of sugar to balance the acidity

- Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, shallot, and garlic. Sautée until it begins to caramelize.

2. Add the tomato paste, stir, and let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Deglaze with vodka and stir everything together letting the vodka evaporate. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper.

4. Add the heavy cream, stir until fully combined. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer together, about 3 to 4 minutes.

5. Stir in the parmesan cheese. Let it simmer until smooth. Finish with butter, mix until melted and incorporated. Season to taste. The sauce is now done!

6. Add a couple spoonfuls of the sauce into a hot pan along with your cooked pasta, some pasta water, parsley, and a small knob of butter. Mix until everything is combined. Serve immediately, enjoy!

... Read moreVodka pasta is not only delicious but also an excellent choice for busy weeknights. The combination of bright tomato paste and rich cream offers a uniquely flavorful sauce that can elevate any type of pasta, from fettuccine to penne. Key ingredients like fresh garlic and parsley add depth and brightness to the dish. To enhance this meal, consider adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, which can be sautéed alongside the shallots for a nutritious boost. Furthermore, pairing the pasta with a crisp salad or crusty bread creates a well-rounded diner experience. For those entertaining guests, vodka pasta makes an impressive yet easy dish to showcase your culinary skills. Experimenting with different types of vodka can also enhance the flavor, allowing you to customize this recipe. Be sure to pair this delightful dish with a glass of white wine that complements the creamy sauce. In addition to being a hit at home, this vodka pasta is perfect for potlucks or family gatherings, providing a comforting dish that everyone will enjoy. Embrace the ease of this easy weeknight dinner idea, and watch your family ask for seconds!
