Italian-American hot spot Carbone in New York is one of Jason Goldstein's favorite restaurants. It can be hard to get a reservation to chow down on their popular spicy rigatoni vodka, so he decided to replicate it at home using everyday pantry staples. He uses penne in his version but you can use rigatoni as Carbone does, or any other tube-shaped pasta. Recipe courtesy of Jason Goldstein of Chop Happy.
