Ingredients:
- 1 lb shell pasta + 1 cup starchy cooking liquid
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced (about 1 cup) (1 shallot, white or yellow onion work, too!)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (the best garlic chopper!)
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 2 tbsp vodka (See Note 1 for substitutions)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese + more to taste
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- chopped basil, to taste
Instruction:
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid before draining (you may not need all of this, but I always reserve 1 cup).
- While pasta is cooking, over medium heat, add olive oil to a large pan. When oil is hot, add onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir often so garlic doesn’t burn.
- Add tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Tomato paste will turn a slightly darker color.
- Add vodka (if using) and cook for 1 minute. To make this dish without vodka simply omit this step OR use one of the substitutions listed in Note 1.
- Add heavy cream and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often until sauce thickens (it will thicken up quickly!).
- Add in your pasta, 1/2 cup of pasta water and butter. Stir, stir, stir until butter is “melted and saucy” according to Gigi! 🙂 Make sure the pasta is completely coated in the sauce. Add a little more pasta water if sauce seems too thick.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound shell pasta (or any shape you like such as penne, orecchiette, ziti etc.)
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 small onion (chopped – about 2/3 cup)
- 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
- â…” cup tomato paste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt*
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoon vodka (optional)
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves (loosely packed – or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
Instruction:
- Cook the pasta: Fill a big pot with water and a generous amount of salt. Bring to a boil, add the pasta, and cook, following the package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining, drain and set aside.
- Saute the onions: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2-3 minutes. Add in the onion, constantly stirring, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.
- Cook the garlic: Stir in the garlic and cook, constantly stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste: Add the tomato paste and cook, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1-2 minutes. It might separate a little bit (and look like it is a bit curdled). That is normal.
- Add the heavy cream: Pour in the heavy cream and whisk until combined. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 30 seconds to a minute. This happens so quickly, so do not leave sight of it and do not stop stirring.
- Stir in the butter and seasonings: Stir in butter, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, if using.
- Pour in the (optional) vodka: Off the heat; if using, stir in the vodka and mix.
- Combine with the pasta: Add the now-cooked pasta to the vodka sauce. Give it a toss to make sure that the sauce is evenly distributed. Pour in some of the reserved pasta water if it gets too thick or starts sticking.
- Garnish and serve: Finish it off with parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Ladle into bowls and serve.
