Recipe By: Delallo

Ingredients

2 tablespoon DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 (4.6-ounce) tube DeLallo Tomato Paste Tube
1 tablespoon DeLallo Chopped Calabrian Chili Peppers
¼ cup vodka
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmigiana-Reggiano
Pasta of your choice (we used DeLallo Shellbows)

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until soft and slightly caramelized, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the peppers. Cook for 2 more minutes. Then, stir in the vodka and cook until reduced, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cream, stirring continuously. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese.
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instruction. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water for the sauce.
Immediately add hot pasta to the saucepan with the sauce. Toss to combine. Cook together for 2 minutes to marry flavors. Add the hot reserved pasta water a little at a time if necessary for desired consistency.
Serve topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
