Instructies

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Once melted, add the onion, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened, toasting the chili flakes slightly.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until it deepens in color and caramelizes slightly.

Add vodka to the pan and let it simmer for 5–6 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.

Reduce heat to low-medium and stir in the cream until smooth. Add remaining butter, salt, pepper, and ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce gently simmer for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and toss to coat. Gradually add reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Divide pasta among plates and top with fresh basil, parsley, black pepper, and remaining Parmesan. Serve warm and enjoy!
