Ingredients
- 4 cups semolina durum flour
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 cup vodka
- 3 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- Oregano, salt and pepper, optional
- 1 cup half-and-half
- Basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Pasta: Put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Beat the eggs and oil together and mix it into the flour. The dough should be firm enough to handle and not sticky. Adjust the consistency with additional flour or a few drops of water, if necessary. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Roll it into a ball and then cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the ball into quarters. Stretch each quarter with a rolling pin, then cut them into thin or thick slices for linguine or fettuccine.
- Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add onions and saute until transparent. Add 1 cup of vodka and reduce it by half, then add the marinara sauce. Let it simmer and reduce. Season with oregano and salt and pepper, if using.
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until cooked al dente. Add the cream to the sauce and allow it to heat through for a couple of minutes (while pasta is finishing). Drain the pasta and add it to a serving bowl. Pour in the sauce and toss. Garnish with some basil leaves and serve.

Great recipe my family loved. Me and my 16 year old daughter prepared this together. She totally mastered the pasta better than I did. I made the vodka sauce. It was a hit at our house. It makes a lot…we made about half of it and it was enough for our 6 with some leftovers.
Very good and easy. Makes a lot since I over cooked two batches it was okay with me. Cook in boiling water for 1 minute or less will be al dente
This is how to make pasta! The broom stick is easy to control. Very thin is much easer. The rest of the recipe is DELICOUS !! Thanks so much Maria, and of course Guy.
This took a while to prep and make, but OH MAN was it worth it! I will definitely make again. It makes a ton of food, good for a couple of guests and they will love it too!
Fabulous. I’m headed to Savarino’s Cucina for dinner so Maria can make it for me this evening. She’s amazing!
