FOOD, My recipes MY RECIPE BOX: vodka pasta 24 May 2014

HomecookedVodkaPasta

No, we are not an alcoholic family.

But, we all gobbled up this Vodka pasta I made! Kids included πŸ˜›

It’s essentially a basic tomato-cream sauce, but then doused with a healthy dose of vodka. I heard that this gives pasta sauce a great ‘kick’, and we had half-a-bottle of vodka in our fridge.. so I figured this was a great way of using it up.

I sauteed crushed whole garlic cloves and diced onion in some salted butter, then added in 1.5 cups of vodka. After a few seconds, I popped in a tin of tomato puree and a tub of cooking cream. For seasoning, there was the usual salt/pepper, as well as some dried oregano and parsley, and paprika. For fun, I popped in some steak seasoning too!

The ingredients I used was sliced garlic&herb sausages and sliced mushrooms.

Then I served it on spaghetti, topped with freshly shaved parmesan and fresh basil leaves.

IT WAS PRETTY FREAKIN’ GOOD!!!!!!

(the kids slept reaaaalllyyyyy well that night!)

This reminds me of the time where I tried to make tomato gin soup, added a splash too much & couldn’t stop giggling the whole night!
