Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Pot

Ingredients

  • 70 gram Tomato Puree for a milder tomato flavor, use less
  • 14 gram Butter
  • 30 gram Vodka up to 3 tbsp.
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 pcs. Chili small and fresh - can be omitted if you don't like spicy food
  • 250 gram Cream
  • Basil fresh
  • 200 gram Pasta I had made homemade pasta, it is not necessary

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a pan, add garlic and fresh chili.
  • Add tomato paste, stir well.
  • Add the vodka, stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
  • Add the cream and let it simmer for a good while on low heat so the dish becomes creamy.
  • After about 5 minutes, add a handful of parmesan and season with salt/pepper. Finally, add the cooked pasta/spaghetti and toss them well in the sauce.
  • Serve with parmesan and chopped fresh basil on top (you can easily top the dish with bacon or Parma ham).

Notes
