Equipment

  • Large, heavy-bottomed pot
  • Immersion blender or traditional blender

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp  butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1/4 c vodka
  • 1 lb pipette or lumaconi pasta
  • 2,1/2 c onion (about 2 medium), finely chopped
  • 2 to 4 tbsp crushed Calabrian chiles in oil, to taste
  • 1 can whole tomatoes
  • 1 c  heavy cream
  • Kosher salt
  • 1,1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Instructions

  • Caramelize onions and garlic, then set aside a portion.
  • Cook tomato paste until darkened, then add tomatoes and vodka.
  • Simmer sauce until thickened, then stir in heavy cream.
  • Blend sauce until smooth, then return to pot.
  • Boil pasta until al dente, reserving pasta water.
  • Simmer sauce with pasta water and Parmesan until desired consistency.
  • Add reserved onions and pasta to sauce, toss until coated and heated.
  • Serve with Parmesan on top.

Notes

  • Get the pasta just cooked, but not mushy.
  • Simmering and thickening the cream sauce is very normal. To get a glossy, vivid sauce, this is a must-do.
