Rigatoni alla Vodka
Cook Time: 15 MINUTES
Serves: 2 PEOPLE
INGREDIENTS: 5
Ingredients
1 box Banza Rigatoni
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
5 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Basil leaves, roughly chopped, for garnish
Directions
Cook Banza: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add Banza and cook according to package directions.
Sauté Aromatics: While pasta cooks, place a medium pot over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once butter is melted, add garlic and tomato paste. Cook, whisking until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
Make Sauce: Add heavy cream and increase heat to medium-high. Simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking constantly.
Finish Pasta: Remove sauce from heat and add Banza. Toss gently to coat. Taste and season with salt as desired. Garnish with Parmesan and basil.
Notes
Garlic needs to be grated on a microplane for best sauce consistency.
Make it vegan—substitute heavy cream with full fat coconut milk, coconut cream, or cashew cream.
Add dried oregano or chili flakes to the sauce for another layer of flavor and heat.
