Vodka Cream Sauce recipe

4.4201

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.
