About the Recipe
Ingredients
● Crave Brothers Fresh Mozzarella 1lb Log, sliced
● 1 tablespoon olive oil
● 1 white onion, diced
● 3 garlic cloves, minced
● ⅔ cup tomato paste
● ½ teaspoon dried oregano
● Red pepper flakes
● ⅓ cup vodka
● ¾ cup heavy cream
● 1 lb dried pasta
● 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
● ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
● Fresh basil, for garnish
Preparation
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and oregano, cooking for another minute.
Pour in the vodka and add the red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add the Parmesan and butter, stirring until melted and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until everything is coated. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices over the top and broil for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
