Penne alla Vodka

     For me, trying out new things is a must for this challenge, and new sauces is differently something I have found joy in.
     Now the last sauce, also bought to you by Audrey at Home, but this one is so much more simpler and doesn't call for a hand mill.








Ingredients
    1/2 onion
    pinch crushed red pepper flakes
    5 1/2 tbs of unsalted butter
    1 cup tomato puree
    1/2 cup of good quality Russian vodka
    1/2 cup of heavy cream
    Sea Salt
    1 lb of penne
    1 ounce of parmigiano-reggiano


Directions
      In a large skillet saute onion and pepper flakes in butter, over medium heat.
      Add tomato puree, reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes.
      Stir in vodka and cook down for 15 minutes.
      Add cream.
      Meanwhile, cook pasta.
      Combine pasta, salt and sauce.
      Top cheese


Changes I Made!
     I used Tito's vodka and went a little heavy on the flakes, and it came out lovely.

Spaghetti Carbonana

     I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce.      This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients     1 lb of spaghetti     2 tbs of olive oil     4 ounces of pancetta, chopped     4 large eggs     1/2 cup of grated Parmesan     Salt and pepper for seasoning     3 tbs of parsley Directions     Cook spaghetti according to packaging.      Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add oil and pancetta.     Brown pancetta for about 3 to 4 minutes.     Meanwhile, mix together eggs and Parmesan.
