Vodka Pasta, Italian Salad, & Garlic Bread: Ryan & MJ
There's nothing like a home cooked meal but a home cooked Italian comfort food meal made with Mafia love is a-whole-nother story. This was amazing!
The "gang"...
Recipes:
Vodka Pasta:
Cook some bacon and crush it up (cook the whole packet cause you will snack on that shit while you make the rest of the meal but leave enough for the pasta)
For the sauce:
Once you add all this shit simmer on ultra low with the lid for an hour before serving make sure you check on it too - you can bring to a nice heat right before adding to pasta
Start with a vodka sauce base 2 jars
2 cans diced tomatoes
Basil tear the leafs before adding and rinse the pesti's off (the whole fucking plant so like 2 handfuls - but not too much cause we're not making a fuckin salad)
Crushed red pepper (just enough for some heat)
Garlic from the press (just enough so it will bring a slight taste of garlic I used 3 big ones on this batch)
Some salt and pepper (just a pinch of each)
If your sauce is too red add some heavy cream (just till the sauce looks pinkish don't over do it with that shit)
For the pasta:
3 boxes of penne spaghetti
Boil them don’t overcook them
Add butter for 3 boxes I used a stick
Add some milk not a lot just enough to make creamy with the cheese
Add 3 cheese Italian blend enough that it’s creamy with the milk
Add the sauce
Add the bacon (i did about a cup on this maybe a smidgen more)
Serve and top with parmesan
