A good weeknight choice, this is my version of the classic dish. Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped |
4 ounces prosciutto, chopped |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup vodka |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato puree |
1/8-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (depending how spicy you like things) or 1/8-1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek (depending how spicy you like things) |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2-3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
3/4-1 lb penne, cooked (again, depending on how saucy you like your pasta) |
Directions:
1. Saute the onion in the combined butter and olive oil until translucent.
2. Add the prosciutto and saute an additional 2 minutes.
3. Add vodka and cook on high heat for 4 minutes.
4. Add tomato puree and red pepper and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add cream and simmer for an additional 1 minute.
6. Salt to taste. Toss with hot cooked penne and Parmesan cheese. Serve extra Parmesan on the table if desired.
