Instructions
Heat a large saucepan over high heat until the surface is very hot; add minced garlic and sear until brown
1 to 2 minutes. Pour vodka into the saucepan
taking care in case any flames ignite from the alcohol meeting the hot surface of the pan. Quickly pour cream into pan to douse any flames and stir; add tomato sauce
crushed tomatoes
Parmesan cheese
basil
and parsley.
Bring the mixture to a boil
remove from heat
and rest sauce long enough to let herbs flavor the sauce
5 to 10 minutes.
Cook’s Note
I have occasionally added sautéed shrimp or chicken for a complete meal when not serving this as a side dish. Just toss 1 pound of shrimp or bite-sized chicken breast chunks with garlic and butter in a separate pan until cooked
then add to the sauce just before serving.You can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried basil or parsley for the tablespoon of fresh basil or parsley
and diced tomatoes can be used in place of crushed.Since this recipe has a high yield
you can freeze the leftovers for quick meals on another day!
