Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s a breakdown of everything you’ll need to make this amazing dish:

2 tbsp olive oil: A must-have for sautéing those aromatic ingredients and creating a lovely base.
1 small onion, finely chopped: Adds sweetness and complexity.
3 garlic cloves, minced: Because garlic makes everything better!
Salt and black pepper, to taste: Essential for seasoning; I always say a couple pinches can change everything.
A few dashes of Tabasco: For that spicy kick. Adjust to your level of spice tolerance!
1 pinch celery salt: A lovely addition to really drive home that Bloody Mary flavor.
A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce: Adds a deep umami flavor.
1 tsp sugar: Just a pinch to balance the acidity from the tomatoes.
2 tbsp vodka: The secret ingredient that makes this dish uniquely delightful.
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes: The delicious base of our sauce!
Splash of water: To help bring it all together.
400g linguine: The star of the show, bringing heartiness to this dish.
Salt: For pasta wate, don’t skip this!
1 tsp olive oil: For tossing the linguine.
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs: To add texture and crunch.
1 tbsp olive oil: For toasting those breadcrumbs to perfection.
Salt: For seasoning the breadcrumbs.
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped: Freshness and color!

Let’s Get Cooking!

So grab your favorite large pan, and let’s dive into making this comforting dish that sounds fancy but is super simple!

Heat the Olive Oil: Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your pan over medium heat. This is where the magic begins! Once it’s nice and hot, throw in 1 small finely chopped onion. Cook until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally, nobody likes burnt onions, right?
Add the Garlic: Now, it’s time for 3 minced garlic cloves to join the party. Stirthem in and cook until fragrant, just a minute or so. Your kitchen will smell incredible at this point!
Season It Up: Toss in a couple pinches of salt and pepper, then pour in a few dashes of Tabasco, 1 pinch of celery salt, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir it all together, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan to deglaze it, those bits hold so much flavor!
Get Saucy: Add 2 tablespoons of vodka, 1 can of chopped tomatoes, and a splash of water. Stir to combine; bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it stew for about 10 minutes. You want the sauce to thicken up a bit.
Cook the Linguine: While your sauce is bubbling away, get a pot of salted water boiling for the 400g linguine. Add it in and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Before draining, remember to reserve about 1 cup of that pasta water, trust me, it will help you later!
Breadcrumbs Perfection: In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add 1 cup of fresh breadcrumbs. Season with salt. Toast them until they’re golden brown, stirring occasionally. This will take about 3-5 minutes. The best part is the crunch they add to your meal!
Bring It All Together: Once the linguine is cooked, drain it and toss it directly into the sauce. Use that reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed. Combine everything really well, and make sure to stir often to coat the pasta evenly. Oh, the aroma!
Add Fresh Parsley: Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley at the end for a pop of color and herbaceous freshness.
Serve It Up: Plate your delicious linguine, and top it with those crunchy breadcrumbs. And there you have it, a fancy yet quick dinner!

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer Friendly: This dish is freezer-friendly! Allow it to cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container. It should keep well for about 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
