Ingredients
1 Pasta Rock
1 lb Trofie Pasta
2 Tbsp Caramelized Garlic Olive Oil
- ½ Onion, minced (about ¼ cup)
1 Tbsp Sweet Smoked Chili Rub
- 28oz can Diced Tomatoes
Roasted Garlic Sea Salt
- ⅓ cup Vodka
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- Parsley, for garnish
- Grated Pecorino or Parmesan Cheese, for serving
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add a pasta rock for 2 minutes to salt your water then remove. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes short of package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add sweet smoked chili rub, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add vodka and simmer briskly on medium-high heat until alcohol flavor is cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in cream and cook until hot, about 1 minute.
- Add cooked pasta and toss over medium heat until pasta absorbs some of the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and adjust seasoning to your taste with sea salt. Divide among pasta bowls and serve immediately, finishing with the grated cheese.
