I don't like overly saucy pasta so I made half the amount of sauce with a full pound of pasta. The recipe says to put the tomatoes through a sieve but I didn't, I added all of the liquid that was in the can. I used a much smaller sprinkling of red pepper flakes since I was feeding it to the kids (beware, a little goes a really long way!). I also used half the amount of cream (which, in my humble opinion, was plenty) and added about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
It was really, really good!!!
Nick And Toni's Penne alla Vecchia Bettola
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp good olive oil
- 1 medium Spanish onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of chopped garlic
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 cup vodka
- 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled plum tomatoes
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or dutch oven over medium heat, add the onions and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes until translucent. Add the red pepper flakes, dried oregano and vodka, and continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by half.
Meanwhile, crush the tomatoes with your hands, and add them plus the remaining puree in the cans into the pot. Place the pot in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
Remove the pot from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Set aside.
Place the tomato mixture in a blender and puree in batches until the sauce is a smooth consistency, and return to the pot.
Reheat the tomato sauce and add the heavy cream, sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss the sauce with the pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, to taste. Serve immediately.
I love how you can so easily tweak a recipe to make it healthier or more kid friendly. You are such a culinary whiz!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet. A great sauce for you to try out with some homemade pasta and maybe shrimp!
