After an epic 14 mile walk, I decided I could take the night off from cooking healthy. And let me just say, I'm so glad I did. I've never made a vodka sauce before, truthfully I wasn't even sure if the recipe would actually called for vodka; for the record it does. It's also incredibly easy to make, I used fresh gnocchi but you any pasta you have would be totally fine. This is a great meal because it looks fancy but it's actually wildly simple. I adapted this recipe from two recipes I found on the Food Network, Giada Laurentiis' Penne with Vodka Sauce and All Recipes, Easy Vodka Sauce. I basically took ingredients from each and created my own recipe, which in my opinion, is the best way to cook because you can get exactly what you enjoy the most!
Ingredients:
Serves 4
1lb of fresh gnocchi (or any pasta)
1 28oz can of whole tomatoes
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup of cream
1/2 cup of vodka
1/4 cup grated Parmesan plus extra for serving
Method:
Put diced onions in heated skillet with olive oil, saute until onions are lightly browned. Add vodka and reduce for about 10 minutes or until most of the vodka has burned off. Add tomatoes, simmer for about 15 minutes. Add cream and let simmer for about 20 more minutes. Stir occasionally. Once sauce has reduced to a thicker consistency stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, if you're using fresh gnocchi boil hot water and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until gnocchi floats, drain and serve with vodka sauce.
