  • Author: Maisy
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 ounces penne pasta
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice)
– 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
– 1 cup vodka
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish


Instructions

Creating One Pot Spicy Alla Vodka Pizza Pasta can be done effortlessly by following these steps:

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil.
2. Sauté Garlic: Once hot, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Crushed Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring well to combine with the garlic and spices.
4. Pour in Vodka: Carefully add the vodka, allowing it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes. This helps to cook off the alcohol and infuse flavor.
5. Add Cream and Seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
6. Add Pasta: Introduce the penne pasta into the sauce. Ensure pasta is submerged in the sauce.
7. Simmer: Cover the pot and let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The pasta will cook and absorb the sauce.
8. Add Cheeses: Once pasta is cooked to al dente, stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan until melted and well incorporated.
9. Adjust Sauce: If the pasta appears too dry, add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before plating.

These straightforward instructions will help you achieve an incredible dish that’s rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor!
