Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Course Pizza

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp vodka
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (add more if you like it spicier!)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan reggiano, grated
  • kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • fresh buffalo mozzarella, torn
  • Parmesan-Reggiano, to preference
  • Pecorino Romano, to preference
  • basil pesto

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

To Make the Sauce

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, garlic and onion over medium heat. Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook until it appears darker in color and a bit carmelized.
  • Add in the heavy cream. Add in the vodka and cook through until evaporated.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add in the red pepper flakes and stir until combined.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Remove sauce from the heat.

To Assemble

  • Once risen, pour the sauce overtop the dough and spread. Add the cheeses and dollops of pesto.
  • Place the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes. If after 10 minutes it’s still not golden brown around the edges and cooked through underneath, continue cooking in 5 minute intervals until it is cooked to your preference.
  • Enjoy!
