A PENNE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 100ml of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
ALLA Vodka
Place a pan (large enough for the pasta) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the chilli flakes (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the vodka and simmer until almost all evaporated, 30-60 seconds.
ALL TOGETHER
Once the Vodka has reduced, add the tomato paste, the reserved pasta water, and the crème fraîche to the pan. Simmer until thickened, 2-4 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add an extra splash of water if the sauce reduces too quickly. Remove from the heat and stir through a knob of butter, ½ the grated cheese, ½ the chopped oregano, the cooked pasta, and seasoning.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of Lemon juice, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss through the rinsed green leaves and the Cucumber half-moons.
