This 30 minute pasta recipe gives a delicious twist on a classic vodka sauce. It also includes plenty of broccolini for a nice crunch and brightness mixed into the creamy sauce.
Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often.
Add the tomato paste and stir well to combine. Cook for 4 minutes until the tomato paste darkens in color. Pour in the vodka to deglaze the pan. Let the alcohol absorb for about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced broccolini and about a 1/2 a cup of hot pasta water. Stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes until the broccolini is softened.
Turn the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined. Add the cooked pasta and the other 1/2 a cup of hot pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce and combine well.
Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
