Vodka Sauce

Posted by Alayne Gardner-Carimi on

Simultaneously creamy yet tinged with the crisp, bright flavors of vodka and crushed red peppers, vodka sauce is comforting during cold weather. Vodka acts as an emulsifier, binding the oil and water, leaving you with a tasty, creamy sauce.

Ingredients (serves 4)
1½ Tbsp vomFASS San Gimignano Extra Virgin Olive Oil
⅓ cup tomato paste
½ tsp red pepper flakes
2½ Tbsp vomFASS Premium Vodka*
¾ cup heavy cream
Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Add olive oil and tomato paste to an 8-inch skillet on medium heat. Stir constantly until the paste turns a darker shade of red (about 3 minutes).
It's okay if the paste and the oil do not fully mix at this point.
Add vodka. 
Allow the alcohol from the vodka to boil off (about 2 minutes)
Add heavy cream and bring to a low simmer. 
Once simmering, remove from heat.
Add salt and pepper to taste and toss with cooked penne pasta or drizzle over baked chicken for a tasty treat. 

*For a bit of heat, substitute vomFASS 7-Pepper Vodka for Premium Vodka

Vodka Rocks

Best Bloody Ever!
