clipped from: chewonthatblog.com I made this vodka sauce from scratch, and it’s hands down the best I have ever tasted! Serve with penne, rigatoni or pasta of your choice! This recipe is loosely based off of this one but I made enough tweaks where I think I can safely call it my own.
2 cloves garlic
1 lg. shallot
1/4 yellow onion
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 14.5-oz. can whole tomatoes, drained
3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 C. heavy cream
1/4 C. vodka
1 Tbs. all purpose flour (if necessary for thickening)
In a saucepan, brown garlic, shallots and onion in olive oil, about 5 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Mix, breaking up tomatoes, and let cook on medium to high heat for 5-10 minutes. Add heavy cream and vodka and stir. Let cook for 5-10 minutes. If the mixture doesn’t thicken, quickly stir in 1 Tbs. flour. Keep heated until serving.
Serve over cooked penne or rigatoni or pasta of your choice.
