Spicy Vodka Pasta Bake
Ingredients
- 500 g pasta uncooked
- 1 can 400g diced tomatoes with juice
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 300 mL thickened cream or Greek yoghurt for lighter option
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock or 1/2 cup vodka
- 30 g minced garlic
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp chilli flakes optional
- 200 g shredded parmesan
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
- In a large oven-safe dish, mix together garlic, onion, tomato paste, diced tomatoes including the juice, cream, vodka or stock, chilli flakes and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Add the pasta and stir to fully coat in the sauce.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for around 40 minutes, checking that the pasta is nearly cooked through (add a little extra stock if it looks dry).
- Remove the foil, stir everything gently, then fold in half the parmesan. Sprinkle the rest evenly over the top.
- Return to the oven uncovered for 12–15 minutes until the pasta is tender and the cheese has melted into a golden crust. Serve hot and enjoy!
