Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • 1/2 can tomato puree or you can use tomato paste
  • 2/3 cup cream
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 cup parmesan grated
  • 1 cup of your choice of pasta
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Salt / pepper for flavouring
  • Additional meat and protein if desired I added sausage

Instructions
 

  • While you prepare the sauce, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Cook the onion and garlic in butter until translucent. Once the garlic is cooked, mix in the tomatoes. Then, mix in vodka.
  • Simmer the sauce for ~7-10 minutes on medium heat or until the vodka is cooked off. If you are using a more liquid form of tomatoes like canned tomatoes, reduce the tomato down first.
  • Mix in the chilli flakes, cream, and parmesan to thicken the sauce. Simmer for another few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the sauce is done cooking, mix the pasta in the sauce.
  • Serve with additional parmesan cheese on top and basil as a garnish.
