Whether you cooked together with Dom, enjoyed a fully prepared meal from Full Circle Food, or are just looking for a delicious new dinner, here’s Dom’s Roasted Blush Sauce with Penne Pasta and Chicken!

Ingredients

1 medium to large yellow onion (roughly chopped)

4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)

1 tbsp. oregano

1/2 cup vodka (optional)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup light cream

1 lb. box of penne pasta

3 tbsps of olive oil

Kosher salt

Pepper

Directions 

ROASTED TOMATOES for Vodka Sauce

Before starting, open can of tomatoes and empty tomatoes and liquid into a large bowl. Crush each tomato in your hand once. This can be messy! Set aside.

3. On top of stove, add olive oil, onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1 Tbsp. oregano and cook on medium heat until onion is translucent (about 10-12 minutes)

4. Add garlic. Cook for one minute.

5. Carefully add vodka. Cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.

6. Add tomatoes and juice to pan. Bring to a light boil on the stove. Put lid on.

7. Remove from stovetop and bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.

8. Remove and let cool with the cover off for 15 minutes.

It won’t look pretty at this point, but Dom says to trust the process!
