Vodka Sauce
This is so good and really easy - you'll never buy from a jar again!
The recipe will make enough sauce for like 2-4 servings of pasta, depending on how saucy you like your pasta!
Ingredients:
2 TBSP butter
2-3 minced shallots
2-3 minced garlic cloves
dry basil, parsley, crushed red pepper
fresh ground pepper and salt
1 can of tomato paste
4oz vodka
1 cup milk (you can use cream to make this indulgent, but I think it is creamy and great with low fat or 1% milk - I would not make it with skim)
1. in a large saucepan over med heat, melt butter and add in shallots and garlic, stirring and cooking til carmelized and fragrant.
2. toss in a few shakes of basil, parsley, salt and pepper, stir it up.
3. add tomato paste and stir around to mix everything up. cook for like 5 minutes, use a wooden spoon or spatula.
4. add vodka and stir together, scraping any bits up from the bottom of the pan. cook for another 5 min or so.
5. reduce heat to low and add milk, stir to incorporate everything and cook for 3-5 minutes. add additional salt and pepper, basil/parsley to taste. Serve immediately!
