Dash of liquor makes pasta dish stand out. COOKS Notes: adjust amounts to your taste. Also, think about adding sweet onion and serving grilled Italian sausage on the side. Please note: this is an adopted recipe: Well I never thought of putting strong liqour into pasta, I have tried this recipe myself now with both Vodka and Gin (seperately of course) and experimented with following the recipe exactly or adding the liquor a minute or two before the cream and cooking it a little. Results: the taste is mellow and softer if you cook it a little so it depends entirely on how much flavour you prefer, all versions were very well received here. Ingredients:
3/4 lb linguine |
olive oil, to taste |
6 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped |
1 cup basil, firmly packed and coarsely chopped |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/4 cup vodka |
1/4 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a well-oiled large skillet over medium-high heat, saute tomatoes and basil for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add vodka and bring to a boil. Add cream and cook, stirring, until heated through.
