Ingredients
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 plump fresh garlic cloves --
1 minced
1/2 tsp crushed red peppers -- (hot
1 red pepper flak
1 or to taste
1 sea salt
1 28 oz can
1 or 1 28-oz can crushed
1 tomatoes in puree
1 lb dried italian tubular pasta
1 such as penne
2 tbsp vodka
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 leaves -- snipped
1 peeled italian plum tomatoes
1 in juice
Directions
In an unheated skillet large enough to hold the pasta later on,
combine oil, garlic, crushed red peppers and a pinch of salt,
stirring to coat with oil. Cook over moderate heat just until the
garlic turns golden but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. If using whole
canned tomatoes, place a food mill over the skillet and puree
tomatoes directly into it. Crushed tomatoes can be added directly.
Stir to blend, and simmer, uncovered, until sauce begins to thicken,
about 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Meanwhile, in a large pot,
bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 3 tablespoons salt and
the penne, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until tender but firm
to the bite. Drain thoroughly. Add the drained pasta to the skillet
with the tomato sauce. Toss. Add the vodka, toss again, then add the
cream and toss. Cover, reduce the heat to low for 1 to 2 minutes to
allow the pasta to absorb the sauce. Add the parsley and toss again.
Transfer to warmed shallow soup bowls and serve immediately.

The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, many of which are now in private collections. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
