I found this delicious recipe on a bag of pearled onions. It is fabulously rich and easy and a total crowd pleaser! I added about 3/4 of a cup of chopped cooked ham to the recipe (along with the cream) with fantastic results. I plan on trying it with left over grilled chicken as well. Ingredients:
1 lb penne |
10 ounces white pearl onions, peeled and chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, minced (more or less, to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes or 4 drops tabasco sauce, to taste |
1/2 cup vodka |
16 ounces chopped tomatoes (preferably organic) |
1 cup cream (or half and half) |
salt |
ground pepper |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
3/4 of a cup of chopped cooked ham (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook dry penne in a large pot until al dente.
2. Halve onions and sauté in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes over medium heat. When onions are translucent, add vodka and cook over moderately-high heat for 4 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes and cook to reduce liquid about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add cream. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, then mix in cooked penne.
4. Sprinkle Parmesan over top and serve immediately.
