Instructions
Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook until it appears “darker [in colour] / a bit caramelised”, says Hadid.
Step 2
Add in the heavy cream. Add in the vodka and cook through until evaporated.
Step 3
Add in the red pepper flakes. [There is a special note from the chef here to add in more flakes if you like your pasta extra spicy].
Step 4
Keep stirring until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Remove sauce from the heat.
Step 5
Cook pasta separately. The chef uses shells but Orecchiette would also work well. When the pasta is done, save the pasta water before draining.
Step 6
Add in the butter. Stir over a medium heat til the butter has melted and the sauce is “sauccyyyy”, says Hadid.
Step 7
Add pasta – and the pasta water – to the sauce. Add parmesan cheese and stir. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Top with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and basil to serve.
