I'd seen recipes for this here and there and I had to try it out once the liquor ban was lifted and I could buy vodka again. I ran out of pancetta so I used plain bacon instead. 🇮🇹🇺🇲🍸🍝🍅🥓

Steps

30 minutes

1

Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Set aside.
2

Add 1 cup water and bacon on high heat. When the water is about to boil away reduce heat to medium and continue to fry until bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes.
3

Add onions and cook until transparent, about five minutes. Stir in Calabrian chili or chili flakes, fry for about a minute. Add vodka, increase heat to high, let boil until reduced to about half, approx. 2–3 minutes.
4

Reduce heat to medium and add tomatoes and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream, let simmer for 2-3 more minutes.
5

Add the pasta into the sauce, toss to coat. Pour grated Pecorino Romano cheese and mix. Serve topped with more cheese.
