We’re always looking for ways to bump up the flavors of classic favorites, especially when it comes to pasta night. Our red pepper romesco sauce is the perfect add-in to vodka sauce. The smoky flavors cut through the richness of the cream, while chili flakes and fresh basil add pops of layered flavor.
Chef Tip: Saving pasta water to stir into the sauce is a classic technique for getting the sauce to cling to the pasta, so don’t skip it!
1 pound pasta (we used rigatoni)
Olive oil
1 medium shallot, diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
A pinch of chili flakes
½ cup tomato paste
¼ cup vodka
1 cup heavy cream
Salt
½ bunch fresh basil, chopped
Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a hefty pinch of salt, then the pasta, and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1½ cups of the pasta water
Heat a small glug of olive oil in a large skillet and add the shallot, garlic, chili flakes and a pinch of salt and sauté until the onions are translucent
Reduce the heat to low, add the tomato paste and cook for 4-5 minutes, until it has thickened. Squeeze in ½ a pouch of the romesco and cook for a minute more
Add the vodka and let it bubble away for a couple of minutes and pour in the cream. Add salt to taste
Add in the cooked pasta along with ½ a cup of the reserved pasta water and toss it until it is well coated with the sauce. Garnish with the basil and Parmesan to taste
