Ingredients

2 cups Dry or fresh pasta (Use pasta of your choice.)
25 g Salted butter
2 Shallots (Small; finely chopped.)
2 cloves Garlic (Chopped.)
4 tbsp Tomato paste
44 ml Vodka (Grey Goose named in source.)
1.25 cups Double or heavy cream
0.333 cup Pasta water (Reserved from cooking the pasta.)
0.25 cup Shaved Parmesan
Salt (To taste; salt the pasta water, and adjust the sauce to taste.)
Black pepper (To taste; some is also used to finish.)
Red chili flakes (A sprinkle; optional in the sauce for extra heat, and for finishing.)
Fresh basil (Chopped; for finishing.)
Parmesan flakes (For finishing.)
Chives (For finishing; named in the method but not in the ingredient list.)

Steps

1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, following the timing on the packet. Reserve ⅓ cup (80 g) pasta water before draining.
2
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the salted butter.
3
Add the finely chopped shallots and fry for a few minutes, until softened.
4
Add the chopped garlic and tomato paste, then mix. For extra heat throughout the sauce, add some red chili flakes at this point.
5
Pour in the vodka and let it cook off for about 30 seconds.
6
Add the cream and mix. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
7
Add salt, black pepper, shaved Parmesan, and some of the reserved pasta water. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.
8
Leave the sauce on the heat to thicken, or stir in the cooked pasta without waiting for further thickening.
9
Serve in bowls. Finish with Parmesan flakes, black pepper, red chili flakes, chives, and basil.

Notes

The source does not specify an exact pasta-cooking time, sauce-thickening duration, or amount of finishing garnishes. The source mentions both salted butter and salting the pasta water/sauce.
