Vodka Cream Sauce Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in shallots and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

   

2. 2.

   Remove pan from heat and stir in tomatoes and vodka. Return to heat and simmer until alcohol cooks off, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   

3. 3.

   For a smooth sauce, transfer sauce to a jar of a blender and puree until smooth. Pour back into saucepan.

   

4. 4.

   Add in heavy cream and cook over medium heat until warmed through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Use immediately or store in refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
