Low-fat decadence in an easy-to-make dish


Ingredients

Scale

2 Tbsp oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp pepper flakes

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 c vodka

1 can fire-roasted tomatoes

23 cups cooked pork tenderloin, chopped 

1/2 pound pasta

1 c grated fresh parmesan cheese

3 egg yolks


Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic, pepper flakes, black pepper, basil and oregano and cook until garlic is fragrant and soft, but don’t allow it to brown.

Meanwhile, get pasta cooking according to directions on the box. When you drain pasta, reserve about one cup of the starchy pasta water.

Deglaze skillet with vodka, then add tomatoes and pork to heat. Toss in drained pasta.

In a small bowl, mix egg yolks with a fork. Add hot pasta water one tablespoon at a time while continuing to mix with a fork to temper the yolks. Continue adding water until it amounts to about one cup.

Toss with pasta in the skillet, and then add grated parmesan.
