Sastojci

12 ounces fettuccine pasta

Salt

2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion

4 cloves garlic, minced, about 4 teaspoons

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup vodka

6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 pound peeled, deveined raw shrimp

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Freshly ground black pepper

Upute

Put pasta water on to boil:

Put a large pot of salted water (1 Tbsp salt for every 2 quarts of water) on to boil for the pasta.

Sauté onions, garlic, red pepper flakes:

Melt butter in a large, thick-bottomed pot on medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook a minute more.

Add tomatoes, vodka, cream, zest:

Add the crushed tomatoes to the onions. Stir in the vodka, cream, and lemon zest. Increase heat to bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer.

Start cooking pasta:

As soon as you start simmering the sauce, add pasta to boiling salted water. Pasta should be done in 10 minutes.

Add raw shrimp to sauce:

After the sauce has simmered for 5 minutes, about halfway through the pasta cooking time, taste for salt and add salt to taste (you'll likely need about 1 teaspoon). Add the raw peeled and deveined shrimp to the sauce. Cook until the shrimp is just cooked through, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Add cooked pasta to sauce and shrimp:

When the pasta is done, al dente, strain it and add it to the vodka tomato sauce and shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and freshly ground black pepper to serve. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
