Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 shallots Or 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 Sweet Bell Pepper Or 6 mini sweet peppers, diced, seeds and membranes removed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (Use less if you’re very sensitive to heat, but the cream really mellows out the peppers)
- ⅓ cup vodka
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 28 ounce marinara sauce jar, pasta sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 pound pasta Use gluten-free pasta if necessary, such as Banza, short-grain (like penne, ziti, medium shells
- 1 cup water Use if needed, optional
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Prepare campfire: Heat coals until they are very hot, or let a campfire burn down until the wood is smoldering but without active flames.Add oil, diced shallots, peppers, garlic and red pepper flakes to the Dutch oven. Set oven uncovered on coals. Cook about 3 minutes, or until the shallots begin to sizzle.
- Add the vodka and cherry tomatoes, and cook about 1 minute, or until the liquid begins to simmer.Add the broth and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and stir. Make sure the pasta is covered in water, adding additional broth or water if needed.Simmer the pasta in the broth until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed (about 15 minutes, depending on the type of pasta and how hot your campfire is). Stir the pasta often while cooking, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot often to prevent sticking.If you hear the pasta sizzling, it's sticking to the pot. Add a little more water and stir to release any bits of pasta that stuck.
- Once the pasta is tender, remove it from the heat. Add cream and Parmesan and stir. If the pasta seems dry, add a little more cream or water and stir.Serve immediately.
