The Perfect Pasta A la Vodka Recipe
Pasta à la vodka is the epitome of comfort food. But when you add a touch of Dirty Martini Pasta Sauce, you’re adding a gourmet twist that will have your taste buds dancing. Here's the recipe that’s bound to become a staple in your home (and trust us, you’ll want to share it with others too).
Good Day Pasta à la Martini with Burrata
Ingredients:
- 300g Saturday Night Pasta Pipette (or any short pasta of your choice)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 60ml vodka (but more if you want!)
- 1/2 cup thickened cream
- 375g Saturday Night Pasta Dirty Martini Pasta Sauce
- ½ cup Parmesan, grated
- 200g Burrata, whole
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves (optional garnish)
Method:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Saturday Night Pasta Pipette and cook according to the package instructions (around 10-12 minutes), until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water for later.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp of tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it deepens in color and the flavors start to caramelize.
- Carefully add 60ml of vodka to the pan, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Pour the entire jar (375g) of Saturday Night Pasta Dirty Martini Sauce into the pan. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add Parmesan, cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat every piece in the briny sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the pasta in large bowls. Top with the Burrata, basil leaves, and a generous glug of olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
