PASTA ALLA CHECCA

Steps:
- First, blanch your tomatoes. Bring a pot of water to the boil and put your tomatoes in, whole, for about a minute. You aren't trying to cook them, just get the skin loosened.
- Remove the water and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
- Remove the skins, and then chop roughly and remove the seeds (whilst trying to keep as much of the juice as possible!)
- Put the chopped tomatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, chili flakes, basil and garlic.
- Set aside for a few hours, to let the flavors mingle.
- When it's time to serve, cook your linguine according to package instructions. Drain and return to the pan.
- Remove the garlic from the tomato sauce.
- Mix the tomato sauce in with the linguine. (Do not have any heat on the pan at this stage - the tomatoes will warm up a little just by contact with the linguine but we don't want the end result to be piping hot).
- Serve!

PASTA ALLA VODKA
There's no need to order takeout from your neighborhood restaurant when this beloved, easy-to-assemble Italian-American classic gets dinner on the table in no time. Adding pancetta brings a salty smokiness, but if you leave it out, you're still in for a quick and flavorful dish. If you're feeling ambitious, the pasta is delightful with Caesar salad or garlic bread, but it's also satisfying enough to take centerstage. Put on some Puccini, open up a bottle of red and you're guaranteed a more relaxed dining experience than the one you might get at the local red-and-white checkered-tablecloth joint.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water). Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a deep 12-inch skillet or pot over medium. Add the pancetta, if using, and fry until crispy, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the vodka and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and then fill the can halfway with water and swish it around to loosen up any leftover tomatoes; add a quarter to half of the water to the pan. Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes, and season with salt and pepper. If you prefer your sauce a little looser, go ahead and add the remaining water and simmer 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, add the cream and cook, stirring, until the sauce becomes an even pinkish-rust color, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup cheese; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, top with additional cheese, if desired, and sprinkle with the oregano and parsley.

Steps:

Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Stir through the tomato purée, cook for 2 mins, then stir through the vodka and cook for 3 mins. Quickly stir through the cream to combine, then remove from the heat.

Add roughly 50ml of the water to the tomato sauce, then tip in the pasta and cheese, tossing everything together over a low heat until well coated and glossy (loosen with a splash more of the cooking water if it's a little dry). Season to taste, then serve with a sprinkling of the extra parmesan, a good grinding of black pepper and the basil leaves scattered over the top.

Tips:
- To make the vodka sauce, use a good quality vodka. A bottom-shelf vodka will not give you the same flavor as a top-shelf vodka.
- Add the vodka to the sauce after it has simmered for a few minutes. This will allow the alcohol to cook off and leave behind its flavor.
- Use a variety of tomatoes for the sauce. This will give the sauce a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce. Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor and become watery.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Penne, rigatoni, and spaghetti are all good choices.
- Garnish the sauce with fresh basil or parsley.
