PASTA ALLA VODKA
There's no need to order takeout from your neighborhood restaurant when this beloved, easy-to-assemble Italian-American classic gets dinner on the table in no time. Adding pancetta brings a salty smokiness, but if you leave it out, you're still in for a quick and flavorful dish. If you're feeling ambitious, the pasta is delightful with Caesar salad or garlic bread, but it's also satisfying enough to take centerstage. Put on some Puccini, open up a bottle of red and you're guaranteed a more relaxed dining experience than the one you might get at the local red-and-white checkered-tablecloth joint.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water). Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a deep 12-inch skillet or pot over medium. Add the pancetta, if using, and fry until crispy, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the vodka and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and then fill the can halfway with water and swish it around to loosen up any leftover tomatoes; add a quarter to half of the water to the pan. Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes, and season with salt and pepper. If you prefer your sauce a little looser, go ahead and add the remaining water and simmer 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, add the cream and cook, stirring, until the sauce becomes an even pinkish-rust color, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup cheese; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, top with additional cheese, if desired, and sprinkle with the oregano and parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 12-cavity mini doughnut pans with olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl. Set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the crushed red pepper and heat until the oil is hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the vodka to the onions and let simmer until it reduces slightly and the alcohol cooks off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Stir and let simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and then stir in the 1 cup Parmigiano.
- Pour the vodka sauce over the pasta and toss to coat, then toss with the mozzarella and egg.
- Spoon an equal amount of the pasta into each cavity of the prepared doughnut pans. Bake until golden brown and the doughnuts feel firm, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove the doughnuts from the pans, sprinkle with the parsley and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmigiano and serve.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and shallots and cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and red pepper flakes, increase the heat to high and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushing them with your hands, and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain. Pile the parsley, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt on a cutting board and use a large knife to mince and mash them together.
- Add the mussels to the tomato sauce and stir to coat, then cover. As the mussels open (2 to 6 minutes), use tongs to transfer them to a bowl; discard any that do not open. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Add the parsley-garlic mixture and toss. Divide the pasta among bowls and top with the mussels.

SPAGHETTI ALLA PUTTANESCA (SPAGHETTI WITH HOT SAUCE)
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca translates literally as "Whore's Spaghetti" it is also called Spaghetti alle Vongole Fujute (spaghetti with escaped clams), Neapolitan tradition claims that the former name (Spaghetti alla Puttanesca) is derived from the fact that good hearted Neapolitan prostitutes would prepare the dish for their clients from ingredients found in every Neapolitan kitchen and that the most visited ladies were the ones that made the best spaghetti . . . in Naples I guess the stomach rules the heart!

Steps:
- Over high heat bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil to cook the spaghetti.
- Rinse the anchovies (if used) and capers in cold water to remove saltiness.
- Put oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. When the oil heats up, add the garlic, pepper flakes, and anchovies and sauté, stirring constantly (about 4 minutes). Do not allow the garlic to brown!
- When the oil becomes fragrant add the capers, and olives and continue sautéing for a few minutes, stirring often. Lower the heat to low and keep the sauce warm.
- Cook spaghetti in boiling water until al dente, drain reserving about ½ cup of the cooking water to "loosen" the sauce if seems too "tight".
- Add the chopped tomatoes and most of the basil (reserve a little to dress) to the sauce, stirring or tossing to combine and heat the tomatoes through (the idea is not to cook the tomatoes but only to heat them through).
- Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce and correct seasoning. Divide among the serving plates, dress each with chiffonade basil and serve accompanied by grated Parmesan or Romano cheese and crusty French or Italian bread.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole dish. Add the shallot and a large pinch of salt and gently fry over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Stir through the tomato purée, cook for 2 mins, then stir through the vodka and cook for 3 mins. Quickly stir through the cream to combine, then remove from the heat.
- Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions. Drain and reserve 150ml cooking water. Add roughly 50ml of the water to the tomato sauce, then tip in the pasta and cheese, tossing everything together over a low heat until well coated and glossy (loosen with a splash more of the cooking water if it's a little dry). Season to taste, then serve with a sprinkling of the extra parmesan, a good grinding of black pepper and the basil leaves scattered over the top.
