@danilocortellini: Is it really Italian? 🇮🇹 I don’t really care 😋🤌 Find the recipe below 👇 . Silky smooth with a kick, it scratches all pasta itches 🍝 If your vodka sauce was actually make by an Italian chef  A simple fresh tomato sauce, with tomato paste added for depth and double cream for glossiness. Add the vodka at the last minute to retains most of its kick! Serves: 5 pp Prep. Time: 60 mins For the sauce: 700 g of fresh tomatoes 1 sprig of basil 1 large shallot, chopped 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil 30 gr of unsalted butter 150 ml of double cream 1 tsp of chili oil/paste 1 tbsp of tomato paste Salt and pepper to. taste Method In a sauce pan gently fry in olive oil the chopped shallots, and a sprig of basil (sometimes I add marjoram too). When golden, add the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, add the tomato paste and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Break the tomatoes while stirring with a wooden spoon. When cooked, the sauce will be chunky and rich. Blend with a handblender and pass through a sieve to get rid of seeds and skin. Now add the cream, the chili paste/oil and season to taste. Add the vodka and keep it ready Drop the pasta in salted boiling water and cook it for about 3/4 minutes until ‘al dente’. Now toss it straight into the sauce and add a splash of pasta water and an extra knob of butter. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for an extra minute in the sauce. Turn off the heat, add grated Grana Padano, stir and serve. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
