2 oz Vodka

1 Cup Cream

Taste Salt & Pepper

500 grams Fresh Pasta or 1 box of dried pasta

Garnish Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano

Instructions:

Prepare and measure all ingredients. Bring a large pot to a rolling boil and leave on high. Should you be using dried pasta, please follow the instructions and begin cooking.

In a separate large skillet, begin coating the pan with EVOO followed by garlic, shallot, and Calabrian chili. Let this cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic. Add tomato paste to break up the pulp then begin adding the passata and vodka, then let simmer. Add cream and season to taste, followed by the pasta.

Garnish with Parmigiano Reggiano, peppercorn, and lemon or herbs if you like a zesty punch.
