Ingredients
- 10.5 ounces pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 4.5 ounces double concentrated tomato paste
- 1/3 cup vodka
- 1 cup cream 20% fat
- 3.5 ounces 'nduja sausage less for a slightly spicy taste
- 1.5 ounces grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Scoop up 1/2 cup cooking water and drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is boiling, prepare the sauce. Start by grating the garlic.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over low. Add garlic and sweat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in spices, add tomato paste and increase the heat to high. Stir almost constantly and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in 'nduja sausage and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add vodka, stir and simmer for 2 minutes over low. Pour in cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, add the pasta and ¼ cup cooking water, toss to combine. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, and the pasta is coated with a silky saucy layer. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the remaining pasta water, if needed. Finish off with black pepper. Serve immediately!
