Step 1

In a large pot with boiling and heavily salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Save a cup of the pasta water just before you drain it

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large and heated pan with the olive oil, sweat out the onion, garlic and chilli flakes/oil on medium heat for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent

Step 3

Add in the tomato paste, stir to combine and cook for 3 minutes on medium or until the mixture becomes deep red in colour

Step 4

Add the vodka to deglaze the pan and stir to incorporate, scraping the bottom of the pot. Make sure all the vodka evaporates and reduce the heat to low

Step 5

Slowly add the thickened cream to the sauce, stirring constantly until a smooth sauce forms. It should be a creamy orange colour

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta to the pan. Add ½ cup of saved pasta water to the pan and stir to incorporate. Gradually add half of the cheese, stirring constantly to melt. The sauce should be smooth and glossy. Add a splash of more pasta water to thin the sauce, if needed

Step 7

Plate and serve the fresh basil leaves, more cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
