Method
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Once the water is boiling, add 1-2 tablespoons of salt.
Step 2
Add a generous amount of olive oil to a large frypan. Add the shallots and saute on low heat for 1 minute. Then add the red pepper flakes and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and saute on low to medium heat for about 4 minutes. When the tomato paste is deep red in colour, add the vodka and cook on medium heat for a few minutes, until the alcohol is cooked out. Then add the milk and yoghurt and stir to combine.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, add the Barilla Fusilli in and stir. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once the Fusilli is cooked, drain and add it directly to the pasta sauce and give it a quick stir through. Add the Parmesan, butter and fresh basil and stir to combine until the sauce is smooth. Serve immediately and enjoy!
