Vodka Sauce Pasta

Cultural Context

Vodka Sauce Pasta, a staple of Italian-American cuisine, combines the richness of cream and the acidity of tomatoes with a splash of vodka, creating a unique and flavorful sauce. Traditionally served over pasta, this dish became popular in the 1980s and is often associated with Italian restaurants in the United States. Today, variations abound, with some adding proteins like chicken or shrimp, making it a versatile favorite for home cooks.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Get pasta water boiling and add a good amount of salt.

2

Chop about a quarter cup worth of shallots finely.

3

Grate one clove of garlic.

4

Place a skillet over medium heat and add a quarter cup of olive oil.

5

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots and grated garlic, stirring to combine.

6

Cook the shallots and garlic for about three to five minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

7

Before the shallots turn golden brown, add tomato paste and stir until combined.

8

Allow the tomato paste to cook until it caramelizes and turns a deeper brick red color.

9

Add the fusilli pasta to the boiling water.

10

Once the paste is ready, add two tablespoons of vodka and stir until the alcohol evaporates, about two minutes.

11

Add one cup of heavy cream and one teaspoon of chili flakes to the sauce, stirring until it thickens.

12

Season the sauce with salt and pepper before adding the pasta.

13

Once the pasta is cooked (one minute less than the recommended time), reserve half a cup of pasta water and add it to the sauce along with butter.

14

Turn the heat to medium-low and stir everything together, adding more pasta water if a saucier consistency is desired.

15

Season with more salt and pepper, then top with parmesan cheese and mix through.
