When I'm making spaghetti sauce I set aside and freeze a few dollops of the tomato paste just so I can make this delicious sauce. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter |
4 shallots, sliced thin |
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup vodka |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup combination black and pimento stuffed green olive, sliced |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
salt |
1 lb pasta, cooked and drained |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the shallots and saute till tender and starting to colour (approx. 10 minutes). 2. Add the thyme& basil, saute another minute. 3. Add the whipping cream and vodka, stirring to mix. 4. Simmer until the sauce starts to thicken (approx. 10 minutes). 5. Add the tomato paste, 1/2 Cup grated cheese and sliced olives mix, stir to combine. 6. Add mixture to cooked/ drained pasta. 7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 Cup grated cheese and pepper on top of the pasta when ready to serve. |
