Rigatoni Alla Vodka
How to make: rigatoni alla vodka! Love this quick & simple pasta dish that comes together so quickly. It is made with mostly pantry staples and plant butter, so I’ll mostly always have everything on hand. You’ll start by sweating out shallots and garlic, blooming your spices and cooking down your tomato paste and vodka. You’ll finish the sauce with crushed tomatoes, coconut milk and plant butter, which adds a creamy & luscious finish to the sauce. Toss in pasta water (a must!) and mix in your rigatoni.
It’s simple, here are the ingredients you need:
Olive oil, garlic, shallots, tomato paste, vodka, crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, plant butter, rigatoni, pasta water, salt, pepper & chili flakes.
How You’ll Make Your Rigatoni Alla Vodka!
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Next, add your garlic and shallot, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Let them sweat out and allow the spices to bloom for 2-3 minutes.
Next, add and cook down your tomato paste for another 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat. Add in your vodka and cook that down for another 3 minutes until absorbed.
Add your crushed tomatoes, coconut milk and stir until all combined. Finish your sauce with plant butter, and melt throughout. Set aside on low.
In the meantime, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. When finished, toss your pasta in with your sauce, adjust with pasta water. Serve and top with pepper, chili flakes and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve!
