2 tsp chopped parsley (a handful)

prep (wash, rinse, pat dry the parsley) remove leaves from stem, and bunch up to finely chop.






bring water to a boil and generously add salt
once water is boiling add pasta to cook to al dente and during the cook time of pasta- you will prepare your sauce !



Over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter and let melt and then add the garlic and let cook for 1 min or so until the aroma bursts through and garlic turns light golden-



then add the tomato paste and stir
then add the cream and stir
reduce heat and continue to stir
add vodka and stir to combine (this needs 2-3 mins to cook off the alcohol)



add some salt/pepper to taste and the chili flakes to develope more flavour
you can add a bit more cream if you desire- develope it to your taste buds.
add some pasta water to loosen the sauce.



once pasta is almost al dente- add your parsley (half of it) and stir
then strain and add pasta to sauce and mix to combine and plate right away




garnish as you wish- i garnished with extra chili flakes and more parsley.
add as much or as little sauce as you wish as well!

this is so rich, creamy and full of flavour! a dish the whole family will enjoy and all under 15 mins from prep to plating!
buon appetito and continue to Love what UEAT
