Reginette alla Vodka

Reginette does the heavy lifting here, with crushed tomatoes rounding it out. An Italian dinner that takes 30 minutes, start to finish. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 22 grams of protein per serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 12 oz Reginette
• 1 28-oz can Crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/3 cup Vodka
• 3/4 cup Parmesan
• 1/2 Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Chili flakes
• 1/2 cup Basil
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Soften the minced onion in the butter 6 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the garlic and chili for 1 minute, then pour in the vodka and simmer 3 minutes until the raw alcohol smell cooks off.
3. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes until thick and brick red.
4. Blend in the cream — the sauce should turn the color of a sunset.
5. Toss with al dente reginette and half the parmesan, loosening with pasta water.
6. Serve with torn basil and the remaining parmesan snowed over the top.
