1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving.1 cup heavy cream or canned coconut milk.3/4 cup basil pesto, homemade or store-bought.1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes.It's one of those pasta dishes that's easily loved by all. Usually, I keep it simple with my 5 Ingredient Beer Bread or Salted Butter Parker House Rolls. This would make a great dinner party meal with a side salad and some bread. You can even prepare the sauce way ahead of time, then just add the pasta before you're ready to serve. That will be totally fine and your sauce will still be great. If you prefer to not cook with alcohol, swap the vodka for chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even just water.

This will release its flavors and cook out the alcohol. The key is to slowly simmer vodka into the sauce. When used in small amounts, the vodka will boost and intensify the aroma of the sauce. The vodka adds a sharp bite that helps to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes. It's delicious and looks pretty on any table…not to mention that everyone LOVES a GOOD creamy vodka pasta. Serve this 30-minute dinner up any night of the week. The pesto adds a vibrant layer of flavor and richness to this silky and smooth pasta. Fresh pasta tossed in a spicy tomato pesto vodka sauce that's creamy and so delicious! The secret to this one-pot pasta? Basil pesto and plenty of cheese on top. This silky, smooth and extra creamy Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka is the perfect cozy winter recipe.
