Nyc Vodka Arrabbiata
- 4 hot red chiles
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked, stalks finely chopped, divided
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 shots vodka
- 1 pound uncooked spaghetti
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling, optional
- Prick chiles 6-8 times with a small, sharp knife. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat; add chiles and olive oil. Cook 5 minutes. Turn heat up to full whack; add garlic, parsley stalks, and anchovies, stirring constantly. When garlic starts to become golden, add tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Add vodka, and reduce heat to simmer. Gently bash up chiles with a wooden spoon.
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss immediately with sauce.
- Divide pasta evenly among bowls. Roughly chop reserved parsley leaves; sprinkle over pasta. Sprinkle lemon zest over pasta; squeeze in juice, catching pits in your hands. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired; serve immediately with a salad.
