How To
In a large sauté pan set to medium heat, fry the onions and garlic in olive oil for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the red pepper flakes and dried oregano, and cook for 1 minute more; then add the vodka, and continue cooking until the mixture is reduced by half.
Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes into a bowl, crush them with your hands, and add 2 teaspoons/10 ml salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place all the ingredients except the bacon into your MagicalButter machine, and secure the lid.
Press the Temperature button, and select 160°F/71°C. Then press the 2 Hours/Butter button.
When the cycle is complete, add the bacon and stir. You’re ready to toss your Get Whacked à la Vodka Sauce over pasta, serve it in a bowl for dipping bread, or whatever your à la vodka-loving self desires! Enjoy!
Chef’s Note
Serve Get Whacked à la Vodka Sauce with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan and a dash of fresh oregano on each plate for a little extra zing-badda-bing, it’s a beautiful thing!
