  • Stir in CRUSHED TOMATOES, HEAVY CREAM, OREGANO, and CRUSHED RED PEPPER.
  • Bring everything to a gentle boil. Then reduce heat to med-low and simmer about 10 minutes to thicken sauce, stirring as needed. This also cooks off the alcohol.
  • Add COOKED PENNE to vodka sauce and allow to heat through, stirring as needed. Add splashes of the reserved pasta water as needed to adjust sauce consistency.
  • Add PARMESAN CHEESE to the sauce, continue heating to incorporate, stirring as needed.

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp olive oil
1 banana shallot or ½ onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
¼ tsp chilli flakes
100g tomato purée
5 tbsp vodka
100ml double cream
200g penne or rigatoni pasta
30g grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative, plus extra to serve
small handful of basil leaves, to serve

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.

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.

CHICKEN AND PASTA WITH A CREAMY VODKA SAUCE



Chicken and Pasta with a Creamy Vodka Sauce image

This is a recipe that we made at a restaurant I worked at on the south side of the windy city (Chicago). It's quick and easy to make and is packed with a lot of good flavor. The ingredients are simple, and the preparation is a breeze. Serve it with a good side salad and some crusty French bread to soak up all that yummy...

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 oz dry penne pasta
2 medium chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 cubes, about 1 pound
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
4 medium green onions, chopped, just the white parts
1/2 medium green bell pepper, small dice
2 clove garlic, minced
2 oz vodka
20 oz tomato sauce, homemade, if possible
1 tsp salt, kosher variety
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
4 oz mascarpone cheese
1/4 c whipping cream
chopped fresh parsley, for topping
parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.
  • 2. Add 3 quarts of water to a large pot, add a bit of oil, and bring to the boil.
  • 3. Cook your pasta according to the package directions.
  • 4. Drain the pasta, and reserve.
  • 5. Place a sauté pan over medium heat, and add the oil and butter.
  • 6. After the foaming subsides, add the chicken.

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.
