Fantastico Vodka Pasta Sauce
From Nicole @ www.colieskitchen.com/
This sauce recipe is fantastic! The entire family loved it. It was quick and easy and super inexpensive. I had everything I needed on hand so I had nothing to lose by trying it. This recipe is also a great meatless meal!
For those concerned with the vodka not to worry because the alcohol burns off and all you are left with is flavor. Don’t leave the vodka out or you are defeating the purpose of the entire recipe. You will not taste any alcohol flavor at all.
Ingredients:
1 pound Pasta (your favorite kind that holds the sauce)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped Finely
2 cloves (to 3 Cloves) Garlic, Chopped
1 cup Vodka
14 oz. Jarred Spaghetti Sauce or 1 large can of Tomato Puree
1 cup Heavy Cream or milk
1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 teaspoon (to 1/2 Teaspoon) Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions, being careful not to overcook.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter.
When butter is melted, add in chopped onion and garlic.
Stir and allow to cook for two minutes.
Pour in vodka.
Stir and cook for three minutes.
Add in tomato puree and stir.
Reduce heat to low and stir in cream.
Allow to simmer, being careful not to overheat.
Stir in red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water in case sauce is too thick.
Add cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine.
Splash in a little water if it needs it.
Stir in Parmesan cheese.
Pour mixture into large serving bowl.
Garnish with more Parmesan cheese.
