How to make Fiery vodka pasta
This is one of those recipes came up by adding what's in my fridge to new stuff I wanted to eat. I had prawn and some juicy and fat looking asparagus plus I had some tomato sauce hanging out in my fridge begging to be used. I also had some Mongolian vodka leftover from my travels that no one dared to drink because it wasn't Grey Goose. Bah. So a lot of it went into this recipe.
You can leave out the chilli if you're not a chilli fiend like me. I keep a little freezer bag full of chopped chilli padi (the little but lethal ones) and hack off bits of it as I need.
Only had macaroni in my kitchen, so no penne, even though I think penne is probably the best match pasta for this recipe.
- Cook pasta till al dente.
- Melt butter over medium and add garlic and shallot. Saute gently till translucent.
- Just before garlic and shallot brown, add tomato sauce and vodka. Stir and add a bit of water if it's too thick to coat your pasta, then add chilli.
- Add asparagus and cook for about a minute, then add prawns and stir till almost done.
- Add pasta, then check seasoning and devour.
