Rigatoni alla Vodka

Rigatoni alla Vodka

Rich, silky, and full of flavor, Chef Scott Conant's Rigatoni alla Vodka transforms a classic into something truly memorable. Built on the vibrant foundation of Martone Street Campagna Marinara, the sauce is enriched with pancetta, a splash of vodka, cream, and Parmigiano for the perfect balance of savory depth and velvety texture. Finished with fresh basil and tossed with rigatoni, it's a comforting Italian favorite that's elegant enough for entertaining yet easy enough for any night of the week.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces pancetta, small dice
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (in the tube)
  • ¼ cup vodka
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar Martone St Campagna Marinara
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmigiano cheese
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 pound Rigatoni pasta

Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Increase the heat to medium and add the diced pancetta. Render for about 4-5 minutes until it just starts to crisp.
  2. Reduce the heat slightly and add the tomato paste, stirring to toast, about 30 seconds. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and sugar. Deglaze the pot with the vodka and turn the heat to low. 
  3. Once the alcohol cooks out and the mixture reduces, about 2 minutes, add the jar of sauce. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to concentrate slightly. Turn the heat off and add the heavy cream and Parmigiano cheese, stirring to combine. Season to taste and add the fresh chopped basil. 
  4. Bring a large pot of water, generously salted to taste like broth, to a boil. Cook the pasta until it's about ¾ of the way done, reserving the pasta water. Transfer the pasta directly into the sauce and toss to coat, adding pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Finish with more chopped basil.
