Rach shares her recipe for a classic vodka sauce, which serves as the creamy base in her Stuffed Shells 2 Ways. She also uses it to make her "You Won't Be Single For Long" Penne Alla Vodka.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 crushed cloves garlic, sliced
- A fat pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 cup vodka (Rach likes Tito's)
- One 28-ounce can diced or whole Italian tomatoes (if using whole, crush into pieces by hand)
- 1 bottle tomato passata
- A sprinkle of salt
- A sprinkle of sugar
- A handful of basil leaves, torn
- 1 cup heavy cream
Yield
Serves: 6
Preparation
In a large pot over medium heat, combine EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, and butter. When butter melts, stir in the garlic and red pepper and stir 2 minutes, add vodka and reduce by half, add tomatoes, passata, salt, sugar, and basil, and simmer 20 minutes, then add cream and reduce heat to low.
