Directions
Step 1
Rinse and prepare your choice of keto-friendly pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until the shallot becomes translucent about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the red pepper flakes and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the paste deepens in color.
Step 4
Carefully pour in the vodka, stirring constantly to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Add your prepared keto pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 9
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
