Vodka Cream Sauce recipe
- Ingredients
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1 can Italian crushed tomatoes
- 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Romano cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Pasta, prepared according to package directions
Melt butter over high heat until bubbly; add red pepper flakes. Rapidly add vodka and simmer for 2 minutes. (The alcohol burns off, but makes the tomatoes come alive.)
Simmer tomatoes with the 2 cheeses for 2 minutes, then add cream; simmer for 1 minute. Prepare pasta (shell or tube pasta suggested), mix completely with the sauce, and serve immediately.
