FRIED PASTA SHELLS WITH VODKA SAUCE DIP

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

• Add enough canola oil to come about 2 inches up the sides of a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 375 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

When golden brown and crisp, remove from the oil and let drain on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
• Pile the fried shells on a platter and shower with the Parmesan. Serve the warm dipping sauce garnished with additional torn basil on the side.
