YOU WON'T BE SINGLE FOR LONG VODKA CREAM PASTA
This recipe will make enough for two couples. If you plan a romantic evening where more than two's a crowd, reserve half the sauce to freeze for another supper before the addition of basil, and only cook 1/2 to 2/3 pound of penne.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole dish. Add the shallot and a large pinch of salt and gently fry over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Stir through the tomato purée, cook for 2 mins, then stir through the vodka and cook for 3 mins. Quickly stir through the cream to combine, then remove from the heat.

Add roughly 50ml of the water to the tomato sauce, then tip in the pasta and cheese, tossing everything together over a low heat until well coated and glossy (loosen with a splash more of the cooking water if it's a little dry). Season to taste, then serve with a sprinkling of the extra parmesan, a good grinding of black pepper and the basil leaves scattered over the top.

Tips:
- To make the perfect creamy vodka sauce, use high-quality ingredients. Use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat, and use a good quality vodka. Avoid using a cheap vodka, as it will impart an unpleasant flavor to the sauce.
- Don't boil the sauce. Once the vodka is added, let it simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Boiling the sauce will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce will lose its flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese doesn't melt as well as freshly grated cheese, and it doesn't have as much flavor.
- Serve the chicken and linguine immediately. This dish is best when served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the chicken and sauce separately and then reheat them before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken and linguine in creamy vodka sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy vodka sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken and linguine are cooked perfectly. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
