Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp vodka
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 8 oz whole wheat pasta
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  • Spray a large pan with cooking spray and saute the shallot & garlic at a low temperature. Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes more. Make sure to stir often so that nothing burns. 
  •  Combine the milk and cornstarch (stir the cornstarch while gradually adding the milk so there are no clumps) and add to the saucepan. 
  • Mix in the vodka, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until combined, and simmer on low until the vodka has cooked off. 
  • While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. When the pasta is done, save 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  • Add cooked pasta to the sauce and add pasta water if it’s too thick. Start by adding ¼ cup at a time, you may not need the whole cup. Let simmer a few minutes until the sauce completely coats the pasta. Add parmesan cheese and stir. Add more salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Top with chopped parsley and basil, then sprinkling of parmesan cheese and serve.
