PERFECT PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserving 100ml of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
ALL THE Almonds
Place the Almonds in a pan (large enough for the pasta) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ALLA Vodka
Return the pan to 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 & herb blend (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 is too thick. Remove from the heat and stir through a knob of butter, ½ the grated cheese, the cooked pasta, and seasoning.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss through the rinsed salad leaves, the drained Feta and ½ the toasted Almonds.
Vodka + PASTA = BELLISSIMA!
Plate up a hearty spoonful of the pasta alla Vodka. Sprinkle over the remaining nuts and grated cheese. Side with the dressed salad. Buon appetito!
