Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (half a stick) unsalted butter
• ⅔ cup vodka
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• One 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes (I use the Tuttorosso brand which has basil in it. If you use another brand without basil, you may want to add a pinch)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• Pasta or zucchini noodles for serving

Directions

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the vodka and red pepper flakes (if using), bring to a simmer and cook for a couple of minutes to cook out the alcohol.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook for about five minutes, or until slightly thickened.
• Stir in the cream and cook for another five minutes, then stir in the cheese.
• Serve over pasta or zucchini noodles.
