Hello lovely people!
Me and Gennaro, we're here. Cooking together.
Which is a thing we love the most!
Me and Gennaro are going to give you a delicious dish, this is spaghetti with a vodka and lemon Arrabiata sauce.
Oh vodka and lemon arrabiata!
Amazing. So you're gonna love it
Arrabiata, which means angry, chili, spice, with spaghetti.
It's simple, cheap, comfort food.
But with lemon and vodka, next level.
Arrabiata angry, it means quick, easy and full of flavour, that's all.
So in this pan, we've got about 4/5 tbsps of olive oil, extra virgin.
Low heat.
I'm gonna take four chilis, that have been halved and deseeded and we're gonna put these chilis in here.
Gennaro's got 4 cloves of garlic, finely sliced and he's gonna put that in here too.
And this is gonna be really, really lovely.
I'm gonna use a lovely Sicilian lemon, or try and get an unwaxed lemon if you can or wash another lemon.
And I'm just gonna put the zest in here.
And lemon, garlic, chilis, tomatoes- beautiful.
Smell that. It's gonna smell like home.
Reminds me of my home town, family, friends, everything.
So very gentle frying. So now we're gonna go in with the vodka.
About 3 shots, we're gonna flame it. In it goes.
So we're gonna flame that, you don't have to flame it
Actually it's lovely to have a bit of heat there. You don't have to flame it.
But you are gonna get a more caramelised flavour, but when the flame's gone,
nice plum tomatoes.
Just a little bit of anchovies can go in, you'll never taste them
but what they'll do, is they'll beautifully season this sauce.
And just let it simmer away
so we're gonna put that on full whack now, turn it up and it can boil away.

At this stage, when it's getting more saucy, then I can start breaking down the tomatoes.
Look this is lovely, this is how we cook.
Here comes my little lovely- come on kids!
I've just slightly broken down the tomatoes, and see the chillis are still whole
You can keep the chillis in, you can chop them up, you can take them out
It's in your control, we have a little taste now.
We'll have a season, with salt, it's very delicious.
And then we're gonna toss it with loads of hot, steamy spaghetti
really good extra virgin olive oil, at the end
Lovely parsley goes in
And then a little bit of lemon juice.
Right kids behave
I don't wanna make it taste cheesy, I'm literally using the Parmesan as a seasoning really
Look at that guys, such a wonderful, simple, honest recipe.
This is it guys, just finish it
Maybe just a little brush of pamesan
Vodka, lemon, tomato arrabiata sauce with spaghetti
Simple, cheap, delicious.. You've cooked all the vodka away so even that lot could have it.
We already know there's chilli in it
Anyway, this is just for me and Gennaro
Love kids don't you? How many kids you got Gennaro?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!
That you know of
I've got five.
Such a beautiful dish, so simple.
Let's just tuck in, do you mind if I tuck in Gennaro?
I love it.
So good.
So there you go guys. Love from me, Gennaro, Buddy and Petal.
Take care, bye guys, thanks for watching.
