    Pennr with Vidka Sauce, Pearl onions and Peas


    1 bag fresh red or white pearl onions
    1 tablespoon EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    Salt and pepper
    1/2 cup vodka
    1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, drained
    1 cup cream
    1 box penne rigate
    1/2 cup baby peas, a small handful
    1/4 cup tarragon, chopped
    1/2 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced or torn
    Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated




    Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. Add pearl onions and boil 3 minutes. Drain, cool and trim root ends. Pop onions out of the skins.

    Place a large pot of water over high heat for the pasta.
    Heat a deep saucepan or skillet over medium heat with EVOO and butter. Add onions and garlic to skillet, season with salt and pepper. Add vodka and reduce a minute or 2. Add tomatoes and stir. Heat through then add cream and let reduce at a low, bubbling simmer while pasta cooks.

    Cook pasta in boiling, salted water to al dente and drain.
    Add peas and herbs to pasta sauce and stir to heat through, 1-2 minutes. Add pasta to sauce and toss 1 minute to combine. Serve pasta with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the table.
