Spaghetti Vodka. A quick flavor packed pasta dish for any night of the week.

Ingredients


Pasta
water 20 cups
salt 3 Tbsps
spaghetti 1 lb
Sauce
olive oil 2 Tbsps
garlic clove 2 crushed
prosciutto 1/4 lb sliced thin and chopped
white wine 1/2 cup
heavy cream 1 cup
Romano cheese 1/4 cup grated
vodka 1/2 cup
black pepper 1/2 tsp to taste


Directions

  1. In a large stockpot bring the water to a boil and add the salt.
  2. Drop the pasta and cook uncovered for 7 minutes
  3. While the pasta is cooking heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan.
  4. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the chopped prosciuto and sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Add the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the grated Romano cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Remove the pan from the flame and add the vodka. With a match carefully light the sauce away from your body. Allow the alcohol to burn off and return the burner.
