Instructions

Step 1

Make brown butter breadcrumbs and set aside for serving. My recipe is linked.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions. Make sure to set aside about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large high-rimmed pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, for another minute.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste and Calabrian chili paste. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 4 minutes until darkened in color. Pour in the vodka to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any stuck bits. Let the vodka cook off for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the tomato alla vodka cannellini beans. See note below if you're using regular cannellini beans. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Transfer over 1/2 a cup of pasta water and the cooked pasta. Stir to combine well. Add additional pasta water as needed.

Step 7

Divide among bowls and top with brown butter breadcrumbs and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
