Step 1

Take half of a large white onion and finely dice it. Slice a single clove of garlic and halve a red chili.

Step 2

Prepare a pan by drizzling it with extra virgin olive oil and adding a small amount of unsalted butter. Set the heat to medium-high.

Step 3

Add the diced onions to the pan, season them, and allow them to sweat for about 2 minutes. Afterward, introduce the sliced garlic, red chili, and 1-2 teaspoons of peperoncino.

Step 4

Continue cooking for an extra 2 minutes. At this point, incorporate approximately 125 grams of high-quality tomato paste.

Step 5

Toss in a few basil stems to infuse flavor and let them cook together for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by pouring in 2 large shots of vodka (preferably Grey Goose for that dream collaboration!). If you're using a gas stove, be cautious as this step could cause a flare-up. If that happens, remove the pan from heat before adding the vodka.

Step 7

Stir and allow the mixture to simmer until most of the vodka has evaporated, which should take around 3 minutes. Then, add 300 milliliters of double cream.

Step 8

Stir until the sauce turns into a beautifully orange hue, and then reduce the heat until it's gently bubbling.

Step 9

Cook your pasta in boiling salted water until it reaches the al dente stage.

Step 10

Once the pasta is al dente, transfer it to the sauce to finish cooking, along with a ladle of pasta water.

Step 11

When the pasta is fully cooked, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle 75 grams of Parmigiano Reggiano over it. Add a bit of pasta water and mix everything together.

Step 12

Finally, incorporate 2 knobs of butter and vigorously mix once more to create a creamy emulsion. Plate the dish and garnish it with more grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
