Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • 1 ball of burrata cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
  7. Toss the cooked rigatoni in the sauce until well coated.
  8. Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with a cold ball of burrata and fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Make sure to serve the burrata cold for a nice contrast with the warm pasta.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine.
