Would you mind sharing the recipe? It's one of my fave meals and I'm always looking for new recipes.
It's not really my recipe! It's a recipe my sister found and I tweaked - but now everyone asks me to make it.. makes my sister BANANAS.
Chop up a large vidalia and a few cloves of garlic (I really like garlic so I usually do about 7 cloves). Put some olive oil in an oven safe dutch oven and saute the onions and garlic until soft. Add some oregano (maybe a teaspoon or so of the dried stuff) and a good shake of red pepper (more or less depending on your heat tolerance/enjoyment). Saute until the seasoning is incorporated throughout the onion/garlic mix. Add a cup (or so) of Vodka. Cook until the vodka is reduced down to about half of what it was. Add SAN MARZANO plum tomatoes. I do 2 large cans and run them through the ricer. Whatever doesn't get smushed enough in the ricer gets mushed with my hands. Get it good and hot - add some salt and then put the lid on (or cover with aluminum foil) and throw it in a hot oven at about 325 for 1-2 hours.
When the sauce comes out - let it sit to cool. Meanwhile, cook up some pancetta. I like a lot so I usually get a 1/3 lb block and dice it up into very small pieces and fry it until crisp. My sister likes less of it so she usually gets the pre-sliced package and fries and crumbles it).
Make your noodles and set aside.
Use an immersion blender (or a regular blender if you prefer) to blend the sauce into a smooth consistancy. If you use a stand blender return the sauce to the pan when you are done. Add a cup and a half or so of cream and stir until it's the right consistancy. Add some salt and pepper. Stir in the pancetta and the noodles and then add about a palmful of Reggiano Parmesan.
It's delicious.
