Question:

Recipe for pasta sauce?

Has anyone got a good recipe for a nice creamy pasta sauce.. i like the alfredo packet ones but i want to make it myself..


Answers:

alfredo is super easy. if you like cream sauces, you should also try a vodka cream sauce. you can't taste the vodka, and the alcohol cooks out, but it adds a nice depth of flavor.

Alfredo Sauce

1 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Freshly cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

To prepare alfredo sauce: Heat heavy cream over low-medium heat in a deep saute pan. Add butter and whisk gently to melt. Sprinkle in cheese and stir to incorporate. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. In a large stockpot, cook pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Quickly drain the pasta and add it to the saute pan, gently toss the noodles to coat in the alfredo. Transfer pasta to a warm serving bowl. Top with more grated cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Tomato Vodka Cream Sauce

1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup vodka
1 can Italian crushed tomatoes
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Romano cheese
1 cup heavy cream

Melt butter over high heat until bubbly.
Add red pepper flakes.
Rapidly add vodka. Simmer for 2 minutes. (The alcohol burns off but makes tomatoes "come alive".
Simmer tomatoes with the two cheeses for three minutes, then add 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for one minute.
Prepare pasta (shell or tube pasta suggested).
Mix completely with the sauce and serve immediately.
