|
## Ingredients
|
|
- ¼ cup olive oil
|
|
- ½ shallot, finely chopped
|
|
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
|
|
- ½ cup tomato paste
|
|
- 2 tablespoons vodka
|
|
- 1 cup heavy cream
|
|
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
|
|
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
|
|
- 1 pound fusilli
|
|
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
|
|
- 1 ounce finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
|
|
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil"
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
1. Heat **oil** in a large skillet over medium.
|
|
2. Add **shallot** and **garlic** and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
|
|
3. Begin cooking **pasta** in salted water until al dente. This can be done while working on the next few steps for the pasta in parallel.
|
|
4. Add **tomato paste** and cook, stirring occasionally, until paste is brick red and starts to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
|
|
5. Add **vodka** and cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
|
|
6. Add **cream** and **red pepper flakes** and stir until well blended.
|
|
7. Season with **salt** and **pepper** & remove from heat.
|
|
8. The pasta should be finished at this point. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the **pasta water**.
|
|
9. Add pasta to skillet with sauce along with **butter** and ½ cup **pasta cooking liquid**.
|
|
10. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until butter has melted and a thick, glossy sauce has formed, about 2 minutes.
|
|
11. Season with salt and pepper and add 1 oz. **Parmesan**, tossing to coat. Divide pasta among bowls, then top with basil and more Parmesan.

## Notes
|
|
### Family Sized
|
|
- Recipe makes about a pound of pasta, in my experience that ends up being about 8 large servings.
|
|
|
|
### Eat it Quick!
|
|
- Lasts quite a while, but reheat quality is not super presentable because of the heavy cream.
