Kosher salt
12 ounces whole-wheat penne
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup vodka

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta. Empty the tomatoes into a bowl and crush with your hands.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 quart Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought marinara sauce, blended until smooth
1 cup vodka
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 pound penne
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 basil leaves
2 dried bay leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Simmer the tomato sauce and vodka in a heavy large skillet over low heat until the mixture reduces by 1/4, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Stir the cream into the tomato and vodka sauce. Simmer over low heat until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well blended.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan with the sauce, and toss to coat.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
  • Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce. If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your mostaccioli. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and high-quality vodka.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic: Garlic is a key flavor component in vodka sauce. Use at least 2 cloves, and feel free to add more if you like.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can simmer the sauce for less time, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka in the sauce should be smooth and flavorful. Avoid using cheap vodka, as it can make the sauce taste harsh.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the perfect texture for mostaccioli. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and unpleasant.
  • Serve the mostaccioli immediately: Mostaccioli is best enjoyed when it's hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Mostaccioli with vodka sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender pasta, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give mostaccioli with vodka sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
