Lauren Dunn

Services 4

Ingredients:

• 50g Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• Olive oil
• 2 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• Bunch of Basil
• Crushed chilli flakes
• salt
• pepper
• 1 jar Passata
• Rigatoni pasta
• 1/2 cup Vodka

Method:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, and cook pasta until al dente. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water for later.
2. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Saute grated onions over medium-low heat for 5 - 10 minutes until they’re super soft and translucent.
3. Add the garlic and passata to the onion mixture, and saute for a minute or two.
4. Deglaze the pan with vodka, scraping any browned bits from the sides and bottom of the pan. Add a cup of heavy cream, and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Once thickened, the sauce should be a vibrant orange colour.
6. Stir in the pasta, parmesan cheese, and a little pasta water, and toss to combine. Cook for a minute or two until the sauce clings nicely to the pasta.
