FLAVOR-GASM!
Oct. 18th, 2007 08:41 amI am SOOOO glad to be able to cook at home again! While Miss Kate was ill - I could not cook in the house - as the smell of food would make her poor tummy upset. SO - - now that she's enjoying a twice daily bowl of rice/cottage cheese surprise....
I enjoyed homemade Tomato Vodka Tomato Sauce last night. OMG - FLAVORGASM! I pan friend a tuna fillet, seasoning with lots of ground pepper and lemon - then tossed it in the pasta recipe below. Oh My God - - the neighbors must of thought I was having loud outrageous sex - the groans and "Oh my god thats good"s that were coming from my apartment.
alas - it was food related. I might redeaux this recipe this coming weekend for a new Bob's Kitchen episode. (never ever do I try a brand new recipe in front of the camera first time. not a good idea - a couple of bob's kitchen episodes never got past pre-production that way)
MUFFINATED RED PEPPER VODKA TOMATO SAUCE OVER PASTA
INGREDIENTS
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1 (28 ounce) can canned peeled and diced tomatoes
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream (this is optional, for those of us that are counting points or calories. the sauce will still ROCK YOUR world without heavy cream)
* 1/4 cup vodka
* 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 pound penne pasta
* 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt better with oil; add onion and saute for 8 minutes or until transparent.
2. Add tomatoes and cook for 25 minutes or until almost no liquid remains in skillet; stir frequently.
3. Increase heat and add cream, vodka and red pepper flakes; boil for 2 minutes or until thickened to sauce consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
5. Bring sauce to a simmer and pour over pasta; toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; serve.
