Spaghetti, Tomato Vodka Cream
Fresh Ricotta on Top
Equal amounts of olive oil and butter are heated with lots of shaved garlic and red pepper flakes. Vodka is added, raising the heat to burn off the alcohol. Add fresh or canned diced/seeded/peeled tomatoes and cream. Simmer, adjust seasonings, then toss with spaghetti. Top with fresh ricotta. I am thinking that my blogger friend, Maryann, will get a kick out of the “petite” bottle of vodka, as she kids about booze in food.
This last minute post is for my other blogger friends, Giz and Psychgrad, of Equal Opportunity Kitchen. They are hosting Presto Pasta Nights and the deadline is now! I had every intention of coming up with a unique pasta recipe for their turn (I have fresh oysters in the fridge!) but I have been very busy advising sorority recruitment at our chapter at California State University at Long Beach since last Friday.
So, if you are looking for a fast tasty pasta dish made from ingredients you always have on hand this one is a keeper.
Looks delicious. I’ve had vodka cream pasta before, but never with ricotta on top. Good idea!
Thanks for the great submission to Presto Pasta Nights!
Hubby would definitely love the addition of vodka! First time I have heard of adding vodka to a pasta sauce. Will definitely try this! 🙂
I have always wanted to know how to make pasta a la vodka. It is one of my favorite indulgences.
the ricotta on top is fantastic! I really don’t use ricotta enough
Hey you – this looks absolutely divine. I love cooking with alcohol. I just made a cream sauce using tequila!

Ya know, I can acutally taste the diff. when one doesn’t use vodka in the dish…it’s the intangible.
hey lori
loved this combination and the way you made it….vodka must have added a unique flavour to spaghetti…a must try for me as well. Hey your mojito cake looks great !
I am so drunk. First the Mojito cake and now this. Hic.

I’ve had such a taste for some good vodka sauce. I usually order it out with some 8-finger cavatelli. I love your touch with the ricotta. This is definitly a keeper!!

I always love a good vodka tomato cream sauce and wouldn’t have thought of topping with ricotta. How yummy is that!
