Tagliatelle and chicken in vodka sauce
Bon Appetit's rigatoni with easy vodka sauce recipe is one of my go-to favourites. Most importantly, because it's really delicious. Also, as it says right in the name, it's super easy to make. It's pretty amazing what a handful of basic ingredients and a shot of potato booze can create. Anyway, I decided to make it again for dinner, with a couple of modifications. First, because I didn't want to have to cook a separate meat dish to go with it, I added chicken which I fried in the pan before making the sauce. Second, I swapped the rigatoni with tagliatelle, because I prefer longer noodles. Changes aside, it turned out as delicious as always.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and toss them in a bowl with a splash of olive oil, a couple of sprinkles of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the chicken to a large pan on medium-high heat. Let fry until cooked through and well-browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
- 2
Add the onion and garlic to the same pan you used for the chicken. Saute for 1 minute, just to soften but not brown. Squeeze in the entire tube of tomato paste and sprinkle in the pepper flakes. Stir to combine, then let cook until the mixture turns deep red, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn. While you wait, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop in the pasta.
- 3
Off the heat, pour the vodka into the pan to deglaze. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any caramelized bits. Put the pan back on low heat.
- 4
In a large measuring cup, add a little of the pasta cooking water to the heavy cream. This will help prevent the cream from breaking. Pour the cream into the pan, and return the chicken also. Stir until your have a beautiful, rosy-orange coloured sauce.
- 5
Once cooked, drag the noodles into the pan. Sprinkle on the parmesan and basil, then toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Golden Crab Sauce with Tagliatelle Golden Crab Sauce with Tagliatelle
I wanted to combine a creamy crab sauce with my favorite flat pasta, but I've never seen it on a restaurant menu so I made my own. It's so good! This is my favorite pasta dish.Simmer down the tomato sauce in steps 1 and 2 to evaporate much of the liquid in the pan. Even if only 20% of the moisture is left, it should be good. You can make the sauce in advance up to step 2. If you start from step 3 on the following day, it will be lot easier, especially if you are serving guests. If not using store-bought tomato sauce, saute garlic in olive oil, add white wine, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and a soup stock cube to a can of whole tomatoes, and simmer while crushing the tomatoes to make your own!

Seafood pasta in Vodka Sauce Seafood pasta in Vodka Sauce
Flavorful. Hard not to drink the vodka as you add it. Actually I guessed on the measurements, I kept on taking swigs :-[ you will be fine as long as you just reduce the alcohol and have at least equal portions of chicken stock.

Vodka Sauce Vodka Sauce
Great vodka sauce! Ive made it a lot, it goes with everything! Once you make it, it’s incredibly easy to tweak it with however you like it. Ive used it for stuffed shells, rigatoni, and mostaccioli. Goes well with about everything. Also freezes well, so its easy to double up and make larger batches.
