Instructions

1. Boil spaghetti in generously salted water until al dente. Reserve 2 cups of pasta water, then drain.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, about 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook about 1 minute, until fragrant and just turning golden.
4. Add the olives and cook 2–3 minutes until warmed through and lightly caramelized at the edges.
5. Pour in the vodka and vermouth and simmer 2–3 minutes until reduced by about half, scraping up browned bits.
6. Stir in the olive brine and cream, raise to medium high and bring to a gentle simmer, about 3–4 minutes.
7. Whisk in the Gorgonzola until fully melted and smooth.
8. Add the spaghetti, lemon zest and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, and toss vigorously until silky, adding more pasta water as needed.
9. Divide among bowls and top with chives and black pepper.
