SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

DINNER AT HOME

This recipe is now a family favorite.  I don't use measurements and just wing it with the ingredients.  Have made this twice and it is far better than most restaurants.  Totally restaurant worthy in the comfort of home.  Love it!

SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

INGREDIENTS FOR SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

OLIVE OIL

SAUTE ONE ONION AND GARLIC.  ADD CRUSHED RED PEPPER IF DESIRED

ADD CALABRIAN CHILIS  (I ALSO ADD CALABRIAN TAPENADE))

TOMATO PASTE AND A BIT OF SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE

ADD 1-2 SHOTS OF VODKA AND LIGHT ON FIRE TO BURN OFF THE ALCOHOL

STAY CLEAR OF FLAME AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH CEILING HEIGHT
AS FLAME WILL BE HIGH.  DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CLEAR AND CLEAN AREA, RANGE HOOD AND SAFETY PLAN

ADD HEAVY CREAM AND PECORINO CHEESE.   STIR.  ALSO ADDED SOME BUTTER.
SOME RECIPES CALL FOR A LITTLE SUGAR TOO.  ADD PASTA WATER TO GET THE CONSISTENCY YOU LIKE.  WE LIKE THE SAUCE A BIT THICK AND NOT WATERY.

MIX WITH COOKED PASTA.  STIR WELL UNTIL PASTA IS COATED

TOP WITH MORE PECORINO CHEESE AND BASIL

SERVED WITH CAPRESE BRUSCHETTA 

PAPPARDELLE WITH MUSHROOMS, BROWN BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN

DINNER AT HOME

Made one of the families favorite dinners at the request of my Daughter.  Being that it is her Happy Birthday Week I made sure this came out perfect.  Oh my it did.  So good I abandoned my low carb diet to enjoy some Pasta.  I did not eat much.  Just enough to fill me up and take in all the great flavors.

The entire family loves the Pasta with Tomato and Onion recipe made a few weeks ago and posted on this blog.  The recipe is a winner and now everyone craves it once a week.  So this week, I changed it up a bit and added Grilled Garlic Shrimp.  Delicious!

My lovely bride cooked up Spaghettini with Chicken, Asparagus and Tomatoes.  This is one of her and my Daughters favorite dishes from California Pizza Kitchen so she decided to duplicate their recipe at home.  Pretty good eats!
