Yield Serves 6 as a main course or 8 as a side dish.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tb. olive oil
4 oz. thick, slab-style bacon, chopped and cooked until crisp*
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes**
1 - 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
¼- ½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1/3 c. vodka
1 - 8 oz. pkg. mascarpone cheese
¼ c. fresh basil leaves, chopped***
½ c. freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 - 1 lb. pkg. rigatoni or other tube-shaped pasta, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • 1. Add olive oil and bacon to a large sauce pan and warm over medium heat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes and cook one minute, taking care not to brown garlic. 2. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper to saucepan. Cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced to 2 cups. Add vodka and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. 3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in mascarpone cheese and bacon until well combined. Add fresh basil and remove from heat. 4. Toss sauce with pasta and serve with parmesan cheese. *Bacon may be omitted for a vegetarian sauce. **Additional crushed red pepper flakes may be added for a spicier sauce. ***If fresh basil isn't available, omit as dried basil will not taste the same in this dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out a little too spicy. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was bland and the pasta was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out a little too thick. I think I'll add a little more cream next time.
